    Default help with this song

    I am looking for the name of the song or artist that sings about a song about an older couple that finally meet up with one another in a hospital when they are older. I remember listening to it as a kid, would have been a country song. Does any one know?

    Sounds like one of my favorites - Kathy Mattea - "Where Have You Been"

    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 have you been?
    I've looked for you for ever and a day
    Where have 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 hair
    In a fragile voice she said

    Chorus

    Where have you been
    Ive searched for you forever and a day
    Where have you been
    Im just not myself when your away
    Im just not myself when your away
