Subject: I don't know why?

Don't know the author, can't verify the title,am not certain the above is exactly right, doesn't appear to be in the DT....but the damned thing is haunting me.....help! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I don't know why? From: Sorcha Date: 13 Jan 02 - 11:50 AM I'll go looking, but are you sure it's not "Tell me why the sky is blue......"? |

Subject: Lyr Add: I DON'T KNOW WHY (from Alison Krauss) From: Sorcha Date: 13 Jan 02 - 11:54 AM Nope, you're correct, it's Alison Krause:
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I don't know why the sky is so blue
I don't know why somewhere dreams come true
I don't know why sun can make you cry
I don't know why the trees grow so tall |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I don't know why? From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 13 Jan 02 - 12:04 PM Try Shawn Colvin, "I Don't Know Why." Personally, I prefer: When the sky is dark, And the dogs go 'bark'; When the clouds are black, And the ducks go 'quack'; When the sky is blue, And the cows go 'mooo'; Think of lovely Queenie, She'll be thinking of you.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I don't know why? From: Dicho (Frank Staplin) Date: 13 Jan 02 - 12:09 PM Shawn Colvin sings the same song on a Sony cd. The authorship is given as S. Colvin. Who stole from whom? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I don't know why? From: Jeri Date: 13 Jan 02 - 12:14 PM Shawn Colvin wrote it. The lyrics are a bit different from the one Alison Kraus recorded, but not much. I have it by Colvin on two different recordings, and she sings two different versions. (There's a verse left out in the later recording.) I'll look for my CDs and post at least one of the versions. |

Subject: Lyr Add: I DON'T KNOW WHY (Shawn Colvin) From: Jeri Date: 13 Jan 02 - 12:42 PM Betcha a $10 donation to Mudcat it was Shawn Colvin. ;-)
I DON'T KNOW WHY She also sang this song on a tape she sold at gigs. This has been released as a CD called "Live '88" from Plump Records, PL7901-2. (I much prefer this simple version just her and her guitar.) |
