Daniel Johnston — Why Without You

Why-yy-yy am I doin’ here? Why-yy-yy are you here too? And what would life mean without you? And why are you so beautiful? Why-yy do the stars shine bright? And it ain’t even night And what does a girl like you see in me? And why-yy are you so pretty? Why-yy-yy-yy-yy? Why-yy-yy-yy-yy? Why did you do what you did? Why you had a man Now you have a kid? And why do I ask such silly questions? Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself Why-yy-yy don’t I kill myself The time has come and I’ve learned all about you Now that I’m alone I live without you Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life But I guess you had your way you got him, you’re his wife So goodbye! I could have settled down and lived forever with you Shared the same bed and have a dozen kids with you With a swing in the backyard with plastic ducks With a porch in the front yard with a mailbox with our name on it But without you I can’t have any of these things Without you I take the day-to-day of living in my life But now I have to say I did want you for my wife So goodbye! Why-yy can’t I see the end All I see is the beginning Playing over and over in my mind You once seemed like a possibility Why-yy do dreams like that die? Why-yy? I ask you why? Black are the skies that once were blue Why-yy do I grieve over you?
