About Beth Burgess
Expertise
I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience
I've been a country music fan for all of my 25 years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
I'm currently enrolled in law school (so if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have excellent research skills!)

Country Music - can't remember country song title


Expert: Beth Burgess - 10/18/2009

Question
I'm trying to think of a song title. Part of the chorus goes something like 'I don't know why___i___i___i     you had to say goodbye____i____i___i'

I think it might be a Trisha Yearwood song, or someone that sounds similar.

Answer
Hi Ethan!  I the song you're looking for is Wynonna's "Tell Me Why."  The lyrics say "Won't you tell me why-yi-yi-yi-ya, I can't say goodbye-yi-yi-yi-ya..." so it's the song that first came to mind when I read your question.  I've included the lyrics below and a link to a live performance so you can listen to the song.  Hope this helps!

Wynonna Judd - "Tell Me Why"

Everywhere I look the sun is shining
But it's always raining here inside
I can see
You really had a hold on me
It's a mean old love
With a flame that never dies

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Everywhere I go you're in my shadow
When I turn around there's no one there
And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
Won't you tell me why

Ask anyone you know
And they'll say love fades away
But this hearts' cryin' just like yesterday

And it's a real bad sign
I'm walking on a real thin line
A fool in love with a fool that never cared

So won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye

Won't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye
