I Wonder What Became Of Me - From "St. Louis Woman"
The lights are bright
Pianos making music all the night
They pour champagne
Just like it's rain
It's a sight to see
But I wonder what became of me
Crowds go by
They're merry making laughter in their eyes
And the laughter's fine
But I wonder what became of mine
Life's sweet as honey, but still it's funny
I get this feeling that I can't analyze
It's like well maybe
When like the baby
Sees the bubble burst before it's eye
I've had my thrills
They've lit my cigarettes with dollar bills
But I can't be gay
For along the way something went astray
And I can't explain
It's the same champagne
It's a sight to see
But I wonder what became of me
Pianos making music all the night
They pour champagne
Just like it's rain
It's a sight to see
But I wonder what became of me
Crowds go by
They're merry making laughter in their eyes
And the laughter's fine
But I wonder what became of mine
Life's sweet as honey, but still it's funny
I get this feeling that I can't analyze
It's like well maybe
When like the baby
Sees the bubble burst before it's eye
I've had my thrills
They've lit my cigarettes with dollar bills
But I can't be gay
For along the way something went astray
And I can't explain
It's the same champagne
It's a sight to see
But I wonder what became of me
