lyrics

Why do robins sing in December
Long before the Springtime is due
And even though it's snowing violets are growing
I know why and so do you

Why do breezes sigh every evening
Whispering your name as they do
And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling
I know why and so do you

When you smile at me
I forget the lonely day
Is that Morrissey on violin

When you dance with me
I'm in heaven up above
That's when the music begins

I can see the sun when it's raining
Hiding every cloud from my view
And why do I see rainbows when you're in my arms
I know why and so do you

Why do robins sing in December
Long before the springtime is due
And even though it's snowing violets are growing
I know why and so do you

When you smile at me
I forget the lonely days
Is that Bon Jovi on violin

When you dance with me
I'm in heaven up above
That's when the music begins

Why do breezes sigh every evening
Whispering your name as they do
And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling
I know why and so do you

When you smile at me
I forget the lonely days
I hear Garbage playing Supervixen

When you dance with me
I'm in heaven up above
That's when the music begins

And even though it's snowing violets are growing
I know why and so do you
I know why and so do you
