Where Were You?

Where Were You? - Nat King Cole

You said you'd always love me

Told me that you'd be true

But when my money was spent

And I owed for the rent

Where were you

I used to feed you lamb chops

Lived up on park avenue

But when we ran out of cash

And we had to eat hash

Where were you

Whenever dark clouds gather

And nothing's goin' right

That's when I find

You're never out of my mind

You're always out of sight

We had a rich friend to dinner

He was good lookin' too

But when he went back to town

And I looked all around

Where were you

Whenever I feel real lonesome

I miss your tender lips

I look all around

But where you ought to be found

I find a total eclipse

We walked up the aisle to the alter

But somehow you missed your cue

'Cause when the preacher said 'pal

Do you take this gal '

Where were you

In Indiana

Or Alabama

Carolina

Or maybe China

Baby where were you
