I Wonder
D. Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wonder my little darling
Where can you be this moonlit night
Are you holding someone tight
I wonder

My heart is aching, I'm a fool
To let it go on breaking
Maybe I'll awake and find that I'm mistaken
I wonder

I wonder my little baby
Where can you be this moonlit night
Are you holding someone tight
Baby, I wonder

My heart is aching but I'm a fool
To let it go on breaking
Maybe I'll awake and find I'm mistaken, baby
I wonder

Baby, since we're through I've been through lover's lane
But in my heart there's only pain
You went traveling, will it last?
While I'm traveling nowhere fast, sweetheart

I wonder, where, where, where, where, little baby
Will you think of me again today




Though I may be a million miles away
I wonder, I wonder
