Written in 1979, this classic pop ballad featuring Tami Lynn on vocals is a soulful take on two out-of-sync hearts that haven’t quite connected yet, but there is always hope. “Remember that night, and the things you said?,” Lynn implores, her voice wonderfully harmonized with a rich backing vocal and cascading piano performance. The arrangement is grand and powerful––strings enter, and drums provide a flair with dynamic fills during the chorus. Music and lyrics by Jane McNealy with accompaniment by Harold Battiste, and McNealy on keys.
lyrics
Where Are You Now
Each day it gets harder
Than before
I keep on wanting you
More and more
I tried forgetting
Just what I feel
Darling I see you
And the feeling’s real
[Chorus]
Where are you now
Are you thinking of me
And if you are alone
You don’t have to be
Where are you now
Will you see me again
Do you remember that night
And the things you said
The days are lonely
All by myself
You know I see you
When I’m with someone else
So let me find you
Please let me know
I really love you
And I think you know
[Chorus]
Where are you now
Are you thinking of me
And if you are alone
You don’t have to be
Where are you now
Will you see me again
Do you remember that night
And the things you said?
You said rainbows are between us
They can lead us or disappear
Rainbows are behind us
They will find us when you are here
[Chorus]
Where are you now
Are you thinking of me
And if you are alone
You don’t have to be
Where are you now
Will you see me again
Do you remember that night
And the things we said?
We said rainbows are between us
They will free us or disappear
