It was 1964 in a raging winter storm
When two strangers met by chance
To share a little warmth
In that crowded corner restaurant
'Neath the blinking traffic light
It didn't take too long to see
That love was at first sight
And from that moment on
They were together night and day
He finally got the nerve one night
To take her hand and say
Where have you been all my life
When you could've been here by my side
I've had this love deep inside
Waiting for someone to give it to
And hoping that someone feels just like I do
So where have you been all my life
So many years had passed
And looking back they knew
They'd made the right decision
What else could they do
How could they have raised a child
When they were kids themselves
Their secret for so many years
Stayed locked upon the shelf
And then one cold and rainy night
They both had just gone to bed
That secret knocked upon their door
They opened it
And she said...
Where have you been all my life
When you could've been here by my side
I've had this love deep inside
Waiting for someone to give it to
And hoping that someone feels just like I do
Where have you been all my life
When two strangers met by chance
To share a little warmth
