But i will get you by, i will try

Sunday afternoon
Having just baked some chocolate chip cookies, i turned on the stereo in the living room and got started on my mopping.
And then Shawn Colvin's I don't know why came on and i took a seat at the bench near my gate. It was quiet and the wind blowing in from the sea was slightly chilly, fortelling the rain that was about to fall. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment- perfect song, perfect time.

I don't know why the sky is so blue
And I don't know why I'm so in love with you
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But somewhere dreams come true
And I don't know where
But there will be a place for you
And every time you look that way
I would lay down my life for you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why
But some are going to make you cry
And I don't know how
But I will get you by, I will try
They're not trying to cause you pain
They're just afraid of loving you
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why the trees grow so tall
And I don't know why I don't know anything at all
But if there were no music
Then I would not get through
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I don't know why I know these things, but I do
I'm so afraid of falling in love. And yet, i want to.
Guess we'll just leave it at that for awhile.

You have such a pure/kind soul. I wish I knew you in person.

I downloaded the song in which you spoke of. Very soothing. Question though- is it a male or female who is singing?

Take care! - Michelle (Delia demerise)
