Why can't it be you
that holds me tonight
that whips away my tears
and takes away my fright

Why can't it be you
the one that loves me
tells me I'm the one
that was meant for you

Why can't it be you
the one I see in the morning
the one who brings me flowers
and writes me little notes of love

I wan't it to be you
but you won't think of me like I think of you
I could make you so happy
you would make me so happy

Love works in mysterious ways
never appears when you want it
surprises you at the wrong times
and can make your life worse

Why can't you love me like I love you
why can't you hold me when I cry
why can't you bring me flowers
why can't it be you?
