I Sat And Thought And Wondered Why - Lyrics - Wally Tax
Wally Tax was a Dutch singer and songwriter, best known as founder and frontman of the Nederbeat group The Outsiders. After commercial and artistic success with The Outsiders in the late 1960s, he had a brief solo career in the 1970s, and then was a successful songwriter, producing a number of hit songs for Dutch artists. He faded into obscurity in the 1980s; after his death in 2005 two benefit concerts in Amsterdam proved his lasting popularity and influence.

I sat and thought and wondered why you had to go
And just like you I didn't know just what to say
You didn't want me to see you cry
But still you cry
For one single moment
You even lost your foolish pride
And I just had to take you in my arms
I held you tight
And I asked you
"Won't you stay just one more night?"
You tried to smile, you tried to say:
"No, no, no, I really got to go away"
Yes, you tried to laugh but all your smile
Made me realize that I never loved someone like I loved you
I was asking you: "Don't you go away from me"
I sat and thought and wondered why I didn't die
I got to find me somebody new who looks a lot like you
I sit and think and wonder why it had to be
The way it is, if you only knew how I miss you
I sit and think and wonder why
