Analysis of GOD WHY?
TRINA APPLEGATE 1965 (MODESTO)
THINKING ABOUT MY LIFE...
THE WAY IT ONCE WAS...
WHEN IN MY HEART,
I FELT ONLY LOVE...
WHEN LAUGHING,
WAS SOMETHING,
EASY TO DO...
SMILING,
EVERY TIME I LOOKED AT YOU...
EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT THEN...
NOT A CLOUD,
IN THE SKY...
THING;S JUST HAPPENED,
I DIDN'T ASK; WHY?
NOT UNTIL THAT DAY,
YOU MADE ME CRY!
CRYING,
BECAUSE I WAS HURT INSIDE...
I LOOKED UP,
TWARD THE SKY...
QUIETLY,
FROM MY HEART...
I ASKED; GOD WHY?
