[Verse 1]
Oh, my love, why do you keep me waiting?
What, my love, are you contemplating?
Time goes by, still you never bat an eye, tell me why
Why, my love, do you have to stay far away?

[Verse 2]
Late, late at night while, while I lay asleepin'
Pale, pale moonlight through, through my window weepin'
I see you in a color fantasy, cover me
Why, my love, do you have to fade away, have to fade away?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Why, my love
Tell me why, my love, do you keep me waiting?
Or, my love, are you hesitating?
Time goes by, are you waiting for another day?
Tell me why you think time will never fade away?
