Lyrics
We’d meet some nights ‘neath the streetlight beam when the town had all gone down
We’d hop into my crapped out car and drive right out of town
She’d tell me she would go all out—do the whole nine yards
Depending on the things I said, the way I’d play my cards
We camped outside beneath the sky, the stars were pins of light
She said she’d guide my every move and make it all all right
Show me smoothly what to do and where to place my hand
I found myself in heaven again, off in another land
All my life
Wondering why
All my life
The naked night surrounded us, full moon the only eye
We’d often lay and talk of love or turn and smile and cry
But now that place is brown and bare, the vows all turned to lies
So now I drive on silently across this bridge of sighs
Chorus
She’s been gone for two years now though my memory’s sharp and clear
I recall her touch and scent, the taste of every tear
Driving all alone these days I’ll look to the night sky
I’ll see the stars we used to own and stop and wonder why
All my life
Wondering why
