Where Are You?

Kurt Elling


Where is your heart, my love? I can't believe you'd forget.
I haven't finished with love yet, and I'm wondering where - where can you be?

I still see your smile in my memories and photographs
Pictures of hand holding laughter
I guess there's more that you're after - but you're teaching my songs to cry

Making love with you was easy - it was a thrill
And I guess that's how it goes - hearts break every day
I just thought you'd go just a bit more gently.
And I hoped you'd pick up the telephone if I called.

My angel, where can you be? You have flown out -
Out of time, out of love, out of my arms - leaving me with a heart full of empty

So where - baby where - are you?

And now - starting now and my whole life through must I go on just pretending
Where is my happy ending? All I wanted to play from long ago was your true love Romeo

I need you baby, but darling where, baby, where are you?
