lyrics

Why Am I ©2006 Tim Martin and Dawnya Clarine

Inside I must have cried, no tears were ever shed
Wasn’t really living, gray thoughts in my head

Nothing, no one, mattered to me
Why go on, I just couldn’t see

CHORUS:
Forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
Floating along empty, watching life drift on by
Asking why, why…why am I?

You offered your hand, I was afraid
Thought about running, but your strength made me stay

You saw through to the one who is me
Showed me life is more than I remembered it could be

CHORUS:
Forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
Floating along empty, watching life drift on by
Asking why, why…why am I?

Bridge:
Now my laughter and tears often mingle in a day
Stepped out of the shadows, baby you led the way

You helped me find passion, helped me risk pain
Now I’m feeling, I’m loving, I’m living again

FINAL CHORUS:

I’d forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
I’ve come back to life babe, I’m floating high
Not asking why… why, why am I

I’d forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
You helped bring me back, now I know why
Yeah I know why, why, why am I
Yeah I know why… I know why …

about

Dawnya Clarine Sandpoint

Clarine’s songs are beautifully crafted, her production tastefully understated, and her singing so heartbreakingly pure as to suggest she knows your secrets and your soul.

Elements of jazz, blues, soul and reggae are woven together under Dawnya’s smooth, sultry voice.

Think Jason Mraz meets Norah Jones with a Ruthie Foster kick.
