Why Lyrics & Chords By Eddy Arnold

(Cindy Walker)

Why did you tell me that you love me
when you really didn't love me, oh darling why?
And why did you let me dream on
Now the pretty dream's gone, all I can do is cry.

And I will never understand
It was that the way you planned it, was it all just a lie?
Goodbye, you broke the heart I gave you
But someday your heart will break too, and you'll wonder why.

--- Instrumental ---

Oh darling why, goodbye
You broke the heart I gave you
But someday your heart will break too
And you'll wonder why...
