I'm waiting for the morning light   Then every night I wonder why   I always try to play it cool   I mean hello but say goodbye   And I can't help myself   I'm wide awake all through the night   Keep waiting for the morning light      And here I'm all alone   Sitting by the telephone   And I wonder why   I wonder why, I wonder why   I keep laughing when I wanna cry   And I wonder why      Every day seems like there's no tomorrow   And every night I wonder why   Do I always seem to say it too   When things don't always turn out right   And there you sit inside my picture frame   But it's not the same   Ever since you said goodbye      And here I'm all alone   Sitting by the telephone   And I'm wide awake   Still wide awake, all through the night   Keep waiting for the morning light      I always try to play it so cool   And I don't know why   Gotta keep on smiling   Gotta keep on laughing   When I want to cry, I do believe it      And here I'm all alone   Sitting by the telephone   And I wonder why   I wonder why, I wonder why   I keep laughing when I wanna cry      Ooh, sing it   Sing it
