More from Paul Thorn

Some really nice Paul Thorn lyrics here; a classic songwriting style, too. The music doesn't do the song justice, so I'll just post the words.

Where Was I?

On a black and white TV
Back in grammar school
I was watching Neal Armstrong
Walking on the moon
That same day I pretended
I was an astronaut
On the playground monkey bars
I flew above the stars

I was in a Dallas disco
The night John Lennon died
The D.J. played "Imagine"
And everybody cried
I remember a thousand lighters
Held up in our hands
All we were saying
Was "Let's give peace a chance"

But where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history
There's not many things
That escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?

Every twenty-thousand years
That comet lights up the night
On a blanket we watched
It sail across the sky
A moment like that
Comes just once in life
It felt like our first time
At eleven-thirty-five

But where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history
There's not many things
That escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?

I remember when I met you
The taste of our first kiss
I remember your goodbye
But could you tell me this:

Where was I when you stopped loving me?
When did I become history
There's not many things
That escape my memory
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
