Where Have You Been Songtext
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 your away

He asked her for her hand for life
Then she became a saleman'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 have you been
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been
I'm just not myself when your away

They'd never spent a night apart
For sixty years 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

Where have you been
I've looked for you for ever and a day
Where have you been
I'm just not myself when your away
No, I'm just not myself when your away
