Where were you?
Where were you, When I said my first word,
When I got my first tooth,
When I learned how to stand?
Where were you,
When I went to school my first day,
When I had tears to dry ,
When I wanted a story at bed time ?
Where were you,
When I needed a hug,
When I needed advice,
When I needed love?
Where were you,
When I graduated ,
When I went in the army,
When I went to college?
Where were you,
When I was alone,
When I was afraid,
When I needed you?
Where were you???
