Refrain

WHY IS IT I SPEND THE DAY,

WAKE UP AND END THE DAY,

THINKING OF YOU?

OH, WHY DOES IT DO THIS TO ME?

IS IT SUCH BLISS TO BE

THINKING OF YOU?

AND WHEN I FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT, IT SEEMS

YOU JUST TIPTOE INTO ALL MY DREAMS,

SO, I THINK OF NO OTHER ONE,

EVER SINCE I'VE BEGUN

THINKING OF YOU.

(Repeat Refrain)
