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 looked for you forever and a day

Where've You Been?

I'm just not myself when you're away

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 at 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 looked for you forever and a day

Where've You Been?

I'm just not myself when you're away

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
Then in a fragile voice she said:

""Where've You Been?

I looked for you forever and a day

Where've You Been?

I'm just not myself when you're away

I'm just not myself when you're away""
