About Tell Me Why

"Tell Me Why" is a popular song, written by Titus Turner in 1956. It is a slow, strong rhythm and blues ballad, and has a melody reminiscent of "Just a Closer Walk With Thee". The first hit version was by Marie Knight, a black R&B singer, on the Mercury's subsidiary label, Wing. It was a local hit in the New Orleans and Texas. When it attracted attention, it went on to become a moderate hit for Gale Storm and The Crew-Cuts in 1956 and later for Elvis Presley in 1966.

Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
Tell me why
Were you so afraid

Some things, they turn out this way
Fire the bullet and find
That you don't know what you left behind
When we laid you to rest

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid

You walk this line
You walk this line of hate
Where two people are so blind
Blind to the evil it creates
Never say to much
Never think out loud

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid

I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds
I know one day you'll find a way
To heal the wounds

Tell me why were you so afraid

Even now I can see that day
The fear in your eyes
You gave all you lived for
Whilst you kept your pride

Tell me why were you so afraid
Tell me why were you so afraid
