Where’ve You Been

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] He asked her for her hand for life And she bеcame a salesman's wife Hе was home each night by eight But one stormy evening, he was late Her frightened tears fell to the floor 'Til his key turned in the door [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 head And in a fragile voice, she said [Chorus] 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
