Answer 2

This may be the song your looking for.

Artist : Sunshine Anderson
Song : Where Have You Been

You had to be hiding from me, all this time
Making me wait so very long, for you
Cause out of nowhere you just appeared before my eyes
Letting me know that there'd be no more lonely nights
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life
(Tell me...)
How did you know when it was time, to make your move
And how did you know this heart of mine was this needing
Being with you helps me realize that dreams come true
Next time don't take your sweet old time
To bring your love to me, oh yeah
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life
To be honest, it's not fair
That so much time went by before we had a chance to share
Our love, we should've been together
But it's better late than never
Where have you been all of my life
Baby
Where have you been all of my life
Tell me
Where have you been all of my life
What took me so long to get it right
Where have you been all of my life

OR

Where Have You Been?
by Kathy Mattea


Claire had all but given up
When she and Edwin fell in love
She touched his face and shook her head
In disbelief she sighed and said
In many dreams I've held you near
Now at last you're really here

Chorus
Where've you been?
I've looked for you forever and a day
Where've you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away

He asked her for her hand for life
Then she became a salesman's wife
He was home each night by 8
But one stormy evening he was late
Her frightened tears fell to the floor
Until his key turned in the door

Chorus

They'd never spent a night apart
For 60 yrs she heard him snore
Now they're in a hospital
In seperate beds on different floors

Claire soon lost her memory, forgot the names of family
She never spoke a word again
Then one day they wheeled him in
He held her hand and stroked her head
In a fragile voice she said

Chorus

Where've you been?
I've looked for you forever and a day
Where've you been?
I'm just not myself when you're away
I'm just not myself when you're away
