why me lyrics

(Olivia Newton-John)

Oh don't ask why me, why me why not me
Why not me is the thing
Don't ask why me, life's running by me
Live each moment that it brings
Take the time to smell the roses
Take the time to watch the stars
Take the time to see your child grow
Daddy now I know
Daddy now I know

Oh don't ask why me, why me why not me
Yes time is going fast
I'm starting to question, what is life's intention?
Guess I've been too scared to ask
But I'm letting go, to God in his wisdom
Or whoever that may be
Nobody knows who plans your future
Or decides your destiny
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me

Life does the strangest things
You never know
What each moment can bring
You turn around
Your life has changed
You've got to fight each round
Yes take it on the chin
No don't you ever give in

Oh don't say why me, say life just try me
And grow from all your tears
Every obstacle before you
Is a tool to face your fears
Yes now I know, it's time to slow down
It's the sign to take control
For too many years I've been a victim
But daddy now I know
Daddy now I know
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me
Oh don't say why me

You've got to fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
Fight each round take it on the chin
And never never never ever give in
Daddy now I know
