Sandy (“Grease”) Lyrics
John Travolta
Lyrics
Stranded at the drive in
Branded a fool
What will they say
Monday at school?
Sandy, can't you see
I'm in misery?
You made a start, now we're apart
There's nothing left for me
Love has flown all alone
I sit and wonder why, oh?
Why you left me, oh Sandy
Oh Sandy, baby, someday
When high school is done
Somehow, someway
Our two worlds will be one
In Heaven forever
And ever we will be
Oh please, say you'll stay
Oh Sandy
Sandy my darling', you hurt me real bad
You know it's true
But baby you gotta believe me when I say
I'm helpless without you
Love has flown all alone
I sit I wonder why
Why you left me, oh Sandy?
Sandy, Sandy, why, oh Sandy?
