Why Now - Wynonna Judd

Somewhere off in a distant dream

You were long ago like a memory

Now you’re back standing here

Sayin' all the words you think I want to hear

Did you finally realize what I knew all along?

That you never needed me until I was gone

Why now should I turn my life around

Just to let you bring me down another time?

Oh, why now after all the years apart

Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?

Everything that I tried to forget

Thought I left behind, guess it ain’t over yet

And babe, it’s almost worth all the pain

Just to look in your eyes and hold you again

You never realized how much I tried

To let you know what I was feeling inside

Why now should I turn my life around

Just to let you bring me down another time?

Oh, why now after all the years apart

Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?

Hold on 'cause it’s starting all over

Hold on 'cause it won’t be the same

Hold on, letting go would be better

Letting go of the pain

How did you think I would be

Waiting for you for an eternity?

Why now should I turn my life around

Just to let you bring me down another time?

Oh, why now after all the years apart

Should I open up my heart and let you in my life again?
