There was a time when I was young
The world looked bright, new songs were sung
And then a cloud came down and hovered over me
You came along then with your smile
You stayed and talked with me a while
Your smile the sunshine on my darkened sea
My heart was lifted, you can tell
I fell in love with you and well
My whole world brightened up right there and then
But something happened to that light
That first and precious love so bright
And I was plunged into darkness once again
So tell me where the hell have you been all this time
When you were here you know I thought that you were mine
But you ran away and left me here alone
Wondering if you’re ever, ever coming home
So though the years passed long and slow
I never had the chance to let you know
Just what, your eyes and sparkling smile meant to me
It made my heart beat oh so fast
If I had known it wouldn’t last
I guess I’d have never, ever let you get to me
But you got in and stole my heart
And though for years we’ve been apart
I still retain the hope that one day very soon
You’ll walk back into my life again
And rid this broken heart of pain
And let me tell ya, that day can’t come too soon
So tell me where the hell have you been all this time
When you were here you know I thought that you were mine
But you ran away and left me here alone
Wondering if you’re ever, ever coming home
Sometime I find it’s hard to carry on
My friends all tell me I had got you wrong
But I know deep inside my heart our love true
And so I live in hope that you’ll come back to me
It’s the only hope I have why can’t you see
And listen to me when I say my only love is you
