I Wonder Why

I Wonder Why - Art Garfunkel

I wonder why it is the sky's

So quiet tonight

There's not a cloud in sight

Just burning stars

It seems strange to me

The way the waves obey

The moon that shines above

And draws them to eternity

I wonder why it is

That you are here with me

I wonder why

I wonder why it is the sea's

So calm tonight

The sands are ghostly white

Beneath the moon

It seems strange to me

To stand in endless space

And know that in this place

I'm held within it's timeless sway

I wonder why it is

That you are here with me

I wonder why

The wisdom of the world

With all it's mystery

Is strangely haunting me

On this great shore

I know no book can teach

But i can feel tonight

The sky above the sea below

And you my love

Tonight the world is mine

We're on the edge of time

I wonder why

I wonder why it is the sky's

So quiet tonight

There's not a cloud in sight

Just burning stars

It seems strange to me

That breeze in holy light

We soar in wingless flight

Amidst this vast eternity

Tonight this world of mine

Is on the edge of time

I wonder why

I wonder why

I wonder why

I wonder why
