Have You Seen Her
Derrick Harriott Lyrics

One month ago today
It has been a month since I felt happy

I was happy as a lark
I was extremely happy

But now I go for walks
I take long walks

To the movies, maybe to the park
I go to the movies or the park

I have a seat on the same old bench
I sit on the same bench every time I go out

To watch the children play, huh
I watch the children who are playing nearby

You know tomorrow is their future
The children are the future

But for me just another day
But for me, it's just another day

They all gather 'round me, huh
The children gather around me

They seem to know my name
They recognize me by my name

We laugh, tell a few jokes
We laugh and tell jokes to each other

But it still doesn't ease my pain
But it doesn't make me feel better

I know I can't hide from a memory
I am aware that I can't forget the memories of the past

Though day after day I've tried
Though I try every day

I keep sayin' she'll be back
I keep telling myself that she will return

But today again I've lied
But once again, I am lying to myself

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
I see her face wherever I go

On the street and even at the picture show
I see her face even at the movies

Have you seen her
Have you seen her around?

Tell me have you seen her
Tell me if you have seen her

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
I hear her voice in the wind

In the sweet music on my radio
I can hear her voice in the songs on the radio

Why, oh, why
Why did she have to leave?

Did she have to leave and go away
Why did she have to leave me?

I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
I'm used to having someone to depend on

And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
But now I feel lost and alone

Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
-

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
-

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
She left her kiss on my lips

But left that break within my heart
But she also broke my heart

Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
I still see her reaching out to me

Only she can set me free
Only she can make me feel free again

As another day comes to an end
As another day ends

I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
I'm searching for a letter from her

Anything that she would send
Anything that she might have sent

With all the people I know, hmm
With all the people I know

I'm still a lonely man
I still feel lonely

You know it's funny
It's strange, really

I thought I had her in the palm of my hand
I thought I had her under my control
