From the movie "Sun Valley Serenade"


D              Bm          Em         A7
Why do robins sing in De - cem - ber?

F#m7             Bm7           G     Edim 
Long before the Springtime is due?

    G                F#m7        G                  E7
And even though it's snow - ing, vi - o - lets are grow - ing

G      F#m    Bm7 G  Em7    A7
I know why and so do you.


D              Bm            Em           A7
Why do breezes sigh ev' - ry eve - ning

F#m7                  Bm7          G     Edim
Whis - per - ing your name as they do?

     G              F#m7       G              E7
And why have I the feel - ing stars are on my ceil - ing?

G      F#m    G/B A7  D
I know why and so do you.



Bridge:


A7  Gdim  D       Bm F#m     F#7               Bm
When you smile at me, I hear gyp - sy vi - o - lins;

G#7      C#7                   E7              Em7     G/B   A7
When you dance with me, I'm in heaven when the music begins.


D              Bm           Em         A7
I can see the sun when it's rain - ing

F#m7               Bm7            G     Edim
Hi - ding ev' - ry cloud from my view.

G                F#m7         G                 E7
And why do I see rain - bows when you're in my arms?



First Time:

I know why and so do you.

Last Time:

G      Gdim   Fm7 Gdim D
I know why and so  do you.
