Where Have 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

Chorus
Where have you been?
I've looked for you for ever and
a day
Where have you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

He
asked her for her hand for life
Then she became a salesman's wife
He was
home each night by 8
But one stormy evening he was late
Her frightened
tears fell to the floor
Until his key turned in the
door

Chorus

They'd never spent a night apart
For 60 yrs she
heard him snore
Now they're in a hospital
In seperate 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

Chorus

No, I'm just not myself when you're away
