Where Was I?

Where Was I -- Paul Thorn

On a black and white TV back in grammar school,

I was watching Neil 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 Lenon died.

The DJ played "Imagine" and everybody cried.

I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands.

All we were all saying was, lets give peace a chance.

Where was I when you stopped loving me?

When did I become history?

Theres not many things that escape my memory.

Tell me, where was I when you stopped loving me?

Every twenty thousand years, that commet 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 11:35.

Where was I when you stopped loving me?

When did I become history?

Theres 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?

Theres not many things that escape my memory.

Where was I when you stopped loving me?

Where was I when you stopped loving me?

• I heard this song on the way to school this morning and I obviously loved it. I didn't cry. I'm proud of that much. But truly..who hasn't felt like that at some point or another? Those who haven't either will eventually, they don't have emotions, or they haven't found the right person. Sorry, but thats my opinion.
