[verse 1]

I've got this picture of you,

I keep in my bedside drawer.

Wearin' that terrible, Hawaiian shirt,

I look at it often, knowin' every time that I do, it will hurt.

[verse 2]

Those were carefree days,

swimmin' in the cool waters.

The memories come and then they're gone,

of times when we were never apart, always together as one.

[pre-chorus]

I remember, as if it were yesterday,

close my eyes, hear every word you say.

You're talkin' to me, but it's your face, that I can't see.

[chorus]

Oh, where did you go,

an' why didn't I know,

that was the last time you'd be, together with me.

[verse 3]

Faded memories, of carefree days,

distant visions that refuse to stay.

Come back for a moment, then disappear,

I try to hold on, but won't let me near.

[verse 4]

A sepia picture, a faded memory,

I struggle to keep, like a childrens story.

All I have left, of all you gave me,

a life, I could have had, not meant to be.

[pre-chorus]

I remember, as if it were yesterday,

close my eyes, hear every word you say.

You're talkin' to me, but it's your face, that I can't see.

[chorus]

Oh, where did you go,

an' why didn't I know,

that was the last time you'd be, together with me.

[bridge]

Who did you speak to, an' what did they say,

to make you turn, away from me.

It hurts me still, not knowin' the reason,

you left me with nothin', that I could believe in.

[final chorus]

Oh, where did you go,

an' why didn't I know,

that was the last time you'd be, together with me.

[outro]

last time you'd be, together with me.

together with me.

Oh, where did you go.

    Hi Sid. Love the song and the story. The only thing I can't quite grasp, and maybe I missed something; you have the photo in your possession but when I get to 'but, it's your face I can't see' throws me for a little loop. I realize in this section you've closed your eyes however it still throws me a bit.

    And I love the use of the 'Hawaiian' shirt from the onset; takes me right to the place.

    Forgive me if I missed something,

    Renee

  • "to make you turn, away from me."

    No longer, a face that I can see!

    Thanks for listening, Renne.

    Appreciated.

    Sid

  • Dang! Thanks, Sid, I MISSED it! My bad, Renee

  • Very smooth Sid! Lovely ballad.

    My only thought here was maybe:   but won't let me near → they won't let me near

    I think you've nailed it with the not knowing being the hardest part. Doesn't let you move past things.

  • Agree, good call

  • it speaks from the heart, that's for sure
