Where were you when I went to the senior prom
With the son of my mother’s best friend?
Why did you never come into my life,
Except at my life’s very end?
I strove for success,
Worked for my happiness,
But, throughout it all,
Where were you?
At college, with gusto, I studied and played;
Yet, the lack of romance left me blue.
And, in spite of the honors I earned for myself,
I now have to ask, “Where were you?”
I struggled in grad school and thought I had found
The ultimate love of my life.
My professor and I were so happy in bed
Till he introduced me to his wife.
I strove for success,
Worked for my happiness,
But, throughout it all,
Where were you?
Then I slept around in a faraway town,
And I had a baby or two.
I was married a while, never living in style,
Never knowing, somewhere, there was you.
My kids are now grown, and my body is tired;
My pleasures in life are quite few.
My regret I’ll not let my future becloud
For, at last, my love, I’ve met you.
I strove for success,
Worked for my happiness,
But, throughout it all,
Where were you?
