I WONDER WHERE OH WHERE YOU ARE
(Wayne / Springer)

as recorded by Patti Page
with Jack Rael & his Orchestra
1958


I wonder where, oh where you are,
You've gone away, away so far!
Are ya sailin' on a ship to a foreign shore?
Are ya ridin' on a mule out in Singapore?
Why d'you go away and leave me for
To wonder where, oh where you are?

Nobody calls on my telephone,
Nobody calls and I'm all alone!
Come back, back, back to my arms again,
Back, back back!
Come back, back, back with your charms again,
Back, back back!

Don't you know that I've been yearning,
Burning just to hold you tight?
how I wish you were returning,
Any time at all tonight,
Just to bring me your touch, your touch, your touch,
That thrill me so much,
And bring me your lips, your lips,
that flame with the kiss,
Telling my heart
We'll never part!

I wonder where, oh where you are,
You've gone away, away so far!
Are ya soakin' to your skin in a jungle rain?
Are ya hidin' from the law in the Port O' Spain?
You're right around the corner at First and Maine?
I wonder where, oh where you are!
Oh where you are,
Oh where you are,
Oh where you are,
Oh where you are,
Oh where you are...
