         G                       
it was 1964 
         C
in a raging winter storm
      D              
when 2 strangers met by chance
C          D            G
to share a little warmth
     G                    
in that crowded corner restaurant
            C
beneath the blinking traffic light
 AM                  D    
it didnt take them long to see
      C                D
that love was a first sight
             C
and from that moment on
            G
they were together night and day
      AM
he finally got the nerve one night
           D
to take her hand and say


chorus
C              D    EM      C
where have you been all my life
                    D
when you coulda been here by my side
C               D     EM     C
i've had this love deep inside
AM                          D
just waiting for someone to give it to
C                               D
hopin that someone feels just like i do
C           D                  G
so where have you been all my life


    G
so many years have passed
    C
looking back they knew
            D
that they made the right decision
C        D            G
what else could they do
   G
how could they have raised a child
   C       
when they were kids themselves
AM                      D
a secret for so many years 
C                       D
stayed locked upon the shelf
      C
the one cold rainy night
        G
they had both just gone to bed
         AM                 G
that secret knock upon there door
      C
they opened it
       D
and she said

chorus

C           D                 G
where have you been all my life
