[Verse:] Why am I lonely and why am I blue? And why am I thinking, just thinking of you? Why should I care if you've broken your vow? And why do I wonder who's kissing you now? [Refrain:] Because I love you I've tried so hard but can't forget Because I love you You linger in my memory yet Because I miss you I often wish we'd never met And though you left a tear As a souvenir It doesn't matter dear Because I love you [2nd verse:] Off with the old love and on with the new Is easy to say but not easy to do What does it matter how far we're apart You're out of my life, dear, but still in my heart
