Have You Seen Her Lyrics

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ooh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ooh

A one month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play
You know tomorrow is their future
But for me just another day
Well, they all gather 'round me, huh
They seem to know my name
Well, we laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain
Well, I know I can't hide from a memory
Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I've lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah
Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost

Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away, oh yeah

Oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost, baby, I'm lost
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Oh, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin' (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
Or anything that she would send (have you seen her?)
With all the people I know, huh (tell me have you seen her?)
I'm still a lonely man (oh)
You know it's funny (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
But I thought I had her in the palm of my hand (doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo)
(Have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her

Oh doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (oh yeah)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her
Have you seen her (have you seen her)
Tell me have you seen her (have you seen her)
