I do not understand what makes the stars shine
I haven't got a clue how high the moon
I cannot comprehend
How rays of light might bend
I only know they tend to end too soon
I do not understand why you should love me
I only know I'm glad to say it's so
And you're the reason why
I sing this lullaby
To all the things that I will never know
We teach ourselves to speak each other's language
So folks can understand the things we say
But so much information
Gets twisted in translation
And I'm not much for talking anyway
I don't know how to say the way I love you
I don't know what I'd do if you should go
And so I've got to try
To sing this lullaby
To all the things that I will never know
