Lyrics Why Now - Wynonna Judd

Why Now

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?
