Because

Release date: 26 September 1969

Ah, because the world is round
It turns me on
Because the world is round

Ah, because the wind is high
It blows my mind
Because the wind is high

Ah, love is old, love is new
Love is all, love is you

Because the sky is blue
It makes me cry
Because the sky is blue

Ah, ah, ah, ah
