  • 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." Writer/s: DON HENRY, JON VEZNER
