I still miss a word or two on these lyrics. Maybe anyone can help me fill the gaps?

Here is what i have so far:
--------------------------

I saw a moonlit scene I never will forget
I stole a kiss at daybreak
I never did regret it
Sometimes I wonder why I even try
So why should I feel blue?

I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark
I poked my head out silent that's how it started
What to my eyes appeared as dust became a vision I don't know

What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me

and as the day ..................................

another lonely night could never be

If there's is a reason you might try and forget
I'd like to find it cause I like to relive it

Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry
So why should I feel blue?

I was cought drifting disappearing from the land

whitecaps and perfusion all around me
but somehow in our eyes I found the strength to sail upon the raging sea

If there's a reason for the way that life is
I'd like to find it after all who's life is it

Sometimes I wonder why I even try
So why should I feel blue?

What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me
and as the days went on till noon ....................................
Another lonely night with you could never be

I saw a moonlit scene I know it was real
all that you can ever do when love is ..................??????

Sometimes I every try why I even try
So why should I feel blue?

Sometimes I wonder why I ever cry
So why should I feel blue?

Thank you.
