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
