    Where Are You Now

    by: Alana Grace

    all these scenes from my life
    playin' back through my mind
    i try not to forget the price
    i've learned from every moment
    and i've moved on
    Chorus:
    every time i wish the things could be better
    i look back and see so many who've come and gone
    all i want to do is write you a letter
    where are you now?
    where are you now?
    workin' never indulging
    sweet, kind, never complains
    waiting for your phonecall to come
    thin skinned and easily wounded
    just and kind
    Chorus: (1x)
    dancing with you
    driving home late at night
    watching the rain fall and stars in the light
    every time i need a hand to hold on to
    everytime i need...(?)
    Chorus: (1x)
    i've closed every chapter
    and i have said my goodbyes
    you will always be with me
    you're a part of my life
