07 - I Wish I Knew - Swing Out Sister

Описание: 18 MAY, 2017
Why must I wake up?..
This song dates all the way back to the middle of the 20th Century…or at least the essence of it does.
It’s a mystery where inspiration comes from and why and when it chooses to arrive
I first sang this melody to my mum when I was about 5 years old and trying to get out of going to school:-

Why must I wake up in the morning
I do-on’t want to go to schoo-ool
I do-on’t li-ike my-y mummy
Why does she have to be so cru-uel?

With a little artistic license and application, and the addition of Andy’s magnificent arrangement…a song is born!

It’s been a long time coming…but sometimes mornings are like that.

Corinne Drewery, aged 5.

LYRICS:
Until we meet again
And all we know comes to an end
We'll laugh like it's not over
Like we're just friends
And no one's listening, so

Why must I wake up
When the morning knows?
Why must I open my eyes
When the stars meet the sky?
I wish I knew

The way
The things we say
But never do
All fade away
Until
We meet again
And all we know
Comes to an end

We laugh like no tomorrow
Could take the place
Of where we thought we'd go

Why must I wake up
When the morning knows?
Why must I open my eyes
When the stars meet the sky
When I'll say goodbye?
I wish I knew
When I met you
I wish I knew

Why must I wake up
When the morning knows?
Why must I open my eyes
When the stars meet the sky?
Why must I wake up
When the morning knows?
Why must I open my eyes
When the stars meet the sky?
I wish I knew
I wish I knew

I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
I wish I knew
