Where`ve You Been Lyrics

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
