Where've You Been? Lyrics


Claire had all but given up,
When she and Edwin fell in love.
She touched his face and shook her head,
In disbelief, she sighed and said:
"In many dreams I've held you near,
"Now, at last, you're really here."Where've you been?"
"I've looked for you forever and a day."
"Where've you been?"
"I'm just not myself when you're away."He asked her for her hand for life,
And she became a salesman's wife.
He was home each night by eight,
But one stormy evening, he was late.
Her frightened tears fell to the floor,
Until his key turned in the door."Where've you been? "
"I've looked for you forever and a day."
"Where've you been?"
"I'm just not myself when you're away."They'd never spent a night apart,
For sixty years, she heard him snore.

Now they're in a hospital,
In separate beds on different floors.Claire soon lost her memory,
Forgot the names of family.
She never spoke a word again,
Then one day, they wheeled him in.
He held her hand and stroked her hair,
In a fragile voice she said:"Where've you been? "
"I've looked for you forever and a day."
"Where've you been?"
"I'm just not myself when you're away."
"No, I'm just not myself when you're away."
