Lyrics

Like a ghost of someone dear
She comes to haunt me in my sleep
Still unable to sincerely give her heart away for keeps
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why not love me?
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why?
There she leaves me
Twice as lonely as I was but yesterday
Keeping such a hold upon my thoughts
So near yet far away
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why not love me?
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why?
The minstrel boy has gone to war now
Burdened with his father's sword
Still she doesn't see
How she can give him peace amidst the horror
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why not love me?
Pretty girl, why?
Pretty girl, why?
