[Harry Chapin - I Wonder What Happened to Him lyrics]

I'm the green young gentleman
And you're the lady with the past
I admit I'm insecure about how
Long we will last i sort through in my mind
The little that I know
But the only things I find
From where my musings go
Is that kind of confusion that
Just makes more questions come
About the wild and shady world that
You must have wondered from you see
I have no real complaints of how
You've left your past behind
I guess what gets me worried is
You've erased him from your mind

I wonder what happened to him
Your past is a canyon
I'm a stranger on the rim looking down below
To where it's misty and dim
But, where there's still shining
A faint glow from a light
It makes me wonder where he is tonight

That drawer of your old photographs
Sit's there like detective's leads
With the packet full of letters that
I do not dare to read
And then there is that negligee
That is made for candlelight
You know, I've never seen you wear it
Was it used the other nights?
You see, dream-lover of a lady
What shakes me to the core
Is the thought as you caress me
You've done this all before
I think about the future with
Me out and others in will I, too
Have disappeared like I've never ever been?

I wondered what happened to him
