Why Couldn't You?

Why Couldn't You?

(Gwyther / Rex Henry)


Percy Chandler and his Band

Why Couldn't You
Have told me that
You love me
You must have known
That I would fall for you
For we were friends
But something else was missing
I could feel it
Even in your kisses
Why Couldn't You
Have put your arms around me
The night I said goodbye to you
For then instead of lonely days
The night without you near
We might have found a paradise for two
