Lyrics

I always sigh when I think how I met you
It proves that I just can’t forget you
So you will know how very much I care
My heart’s designed this little questionaire

Chorus:
What makes the sun set?
What makes the moon rise?
What makes the tide remember to hide
And why does it soon rise?
What makes a star fall?
Where does it fall to?
Why does its flight make us stop in the night
And wish as we all do?
And what holds a cloud together?
What makes the sky so blue?
What makes the sun set?
What makes the moon rise?
Is it my love for you?
