WHERE DID THEY GO, LORD 
(Dallas Frazier / Arthur Leo Owens)

Elvis Presley - 1970
Dallas Frazier - 1970


 

The words of her promise, the flame of her faith
And the love that would never drift away
Where did they go, Lord, where did they go

Somehow forever slipped out of my hands
And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go, Lord, where did they go

You know sometimes I wish I had lost her to another**
But Lord, she just walked off all alone
The heart that's within me isn't bitter, it's just empty
And bewildered because her love is gone

Oh, the passion I trusted, the truth that I leaned on
And the hope that would forever keep me strong
I cry out my questions, but the answers are gone
Where did they go, Lord, tell me where did they go
Oh, where did they go, Lord, tell me where did they go


**Dallas Frazier sings this line as 
"Sometimes I wish I had left her for another"
