Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the years and its
Finally coming true
It appears you've come
Back into my life
Love
Where Have You Been?
Trying to move on, but your memory
Lingered like a song
That grew stronger as
Time went along...Love
Where Have You Been?
True I've
Been with a few, but all I did
Was compare them to you
And with each new embrace
Behind anothers' eyes I
Still saw your face
I've been
Missing what we had
But now you're back and
Boy am i glad
You're here to stay and I'll never be sad
Or lonely again, dear
Though the time we lost we may never have again
Let's not waste a moment more
Let's stay together 'till the end
Yet and still, I need to know
Love, Where Have You Been?
True I've
Been with a few, but all I did
Was compare them to you
And with each new embrace
Behind anothers' eyes I
Still saw your face
I've been
Missing what we had
But you're back and
Boy am i glad
You're here to stay and I'll never be sad
Or lonely again, dear
Though the time we lost we may never have again
Let's not waste a moment more
Let's stay together 'till the end
Yet and still, I need to know
Love, Where Have You Been?
I missed you so
Why did you have to go?
Where have you been?
