TELL ME WHY THE STARS DO SHINE
From Marty H. Looking for Tell Me Why The Stars Do Shine

A.Here you are:
Tell me why the stars do shine
Tell me why the ivy twines
Tell me why the sky’s so blue
And then I will tell you just why I love you
Because God made the stars to shine
Because God made the ivy twine
Because God made the sky’s so blue
Because God made you, that’s why I love you


TELL ME WHY MY DADDY WON'T COME HOME
A little tot sat playing one night upon the floor
Her mother sat and idly watched her little boy of four
When all at once he dropped her toys and tears began to shed
He climbed upon his mother's knee and this is what he said:

CHORUS: Tell me why my daddy don't come home
I know that I am much too big to cry
Why don't he come and play with me again
Mamma why did Daddy say good-bye

Her mother's heart was troubled her thoughts were of other days
How could she tell her darling child of love she'd cast away
A hunger stole into her heart of hopeless thoughts but sweet
It almost broke her heart to hear the little one repeat:   CHOR.

T'was just one week later a letter came to her
The letter's edge was trimmed in black her cold hands shook with fear
"Your husband's eyes are closed in death his earthly cares are done
