"Wondering"

           
   
1.
Where are the clouds that were here last night?
Why does the moon give a silv'ry light?
Who can tell?
Who can say?
When will tomorrow be yesterday?

   
           
   
2.
How far away is the distant sky?
How do we know which is you or I?
Who can tell?
Who can say?
How many miles would be far away.
