Wasn't long ago we were dancing in the sunshine Then the grey skies came and clouded our parade Let's go back to a time before tears filled your eyes And I never said the things I didn't mean Tell me how's the weather out in Tulsa? Tell me now how is your Grandma Jeane? How's that garden coming we planted in the springtime? Tell me now is your thumb still green? And I can't tell you why the wind blows, Or why the sun rises in the East Why April showers fall from the sky Or what keeps you coming back to me Over and over, time and time again Long distance loving, longtime friend What keeps you grounded when you want to fly? What keeps your motor running when you feel it's going to die? And I can't tell you why the wind blows Or why the sun rises in the East Why April showers fall from the sky Or what keeps you coming back to me, oh Like waves keep coming from the sea You keep coming back for me I can't tell you why the wind blows Or colors fade and leaves fall from the trees Why April showers fall from your eyes Or what keeps you coming back What keeps you coming back But I can't tell you why the wind blows, Or why the sun rises in the East Why April showers fall from the sky Or what keeps you coming back to me, oh What keeps you coming back to me?
