[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
But 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 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
'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
[Verse 3]
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 4]
Claire soon lost her memory
And her 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
