Only Wondering Where You Are Lyrics - Mark Erelli

(Mark Erelli) 

The sun goes down, the sun comes up 

Black coffee fills a paper cup 

Every morning it gets harder to remember 

The days all seem to pass this way 

Nothing much to do or say 

A thousand shades of gray just like November 

Once upon a time the time stood still 

The moments they were ours to fill 

Or drain just like a drunkard will a toast 

Now I turn around and hope to see 

You standing where you're supposed to be 

Instead I find I'm followed by your ghost 

CHORUS 

I got this space inside I just can't seem to fill 

Don't you know sometimes it seems I never will 

I ain't wishing you could still be by my side 

I'm only wondering where you are tonight 

It never seems to rain unless it pours 

And catches us both out of doors 

In the storm it all just comes undone somehow 

Still I thought we'd last until the end 

No matter where we'd gone or been 

If I'd only known back then what I know now 

(CHORUS) 

Old lovers have to say goodbye 

As nightfall darkens in the sky 

The tears we cry can't keep the world from spinning 

But morning always comes again 

As it will for you and I my friend 

This is not the end it's only a new beginning
