Intro Verse One: 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" 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 Two: 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 Bridge: They never spent a night apart, for sixty years she heard him snore Now they're in a hospital, in seperate beds on different floors Verse Three: Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names of fam--ily She never spoke a word again; then one day they wheeled him in He held her hand and stroked her head, 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
