The palette of circles like pastels,
I could feel your presence from long ago,
called a dazzling hue, I remember it well.
Enchanted by the temptress,
It seemed to happen all so fast,
in a world when you were gone.
At the height of our own ecstasy,
was a dangerous, reckless ride
And I ask myself, is anything right tonight?
I ask myself, why? Lord, why?
Why does love have to hurt
Right when it's bliss it turns its head
Tell me, why does love have
was the best time I ever had
You told me once, Johnny,
We'd be together till the end of time
All for one love and one for all,
to share a life in high design
she came to take your love away
I couldn't take the pain of
I could never forget or forgive her
And I asked myself, is anything right tonight?
I ask myself, why, Lord, why?
Why does love hurt so bad?
Right when it's missing, turns its head
Tell me, why does love hurt so bad?
was the best time I ever had
If only I could see you now
That time has been our friend
If there only was an easy way
What is love ever so bad?
I was blessed and turned to death
Tell me, what is love ever so bad?
Was the best time I ever had
