WHERE ARE YOU TONIGHT
or 'Love's Song'
by J.R. Brown

Where are you tonight? Where are you tonight?
Dreaming of me, when we were happy?
Or dreaming with somebody new?
Where are you tonight? Life just isn't right.
Since you've been gone my world has been wrong.
I miss you, I need you, I love you.
I promised long ago - your freedom, and you know
whenever you stray, I hope and I pray
you find your way home to me, Love.

I once had a cat named Melissa. A kitten to never grow old.
My love for her overwhelming. But she died she had a cold.
I still miss my Melissa. Such love could never die.
And so, each night - when you are out - I fear our last goodbye.

Where Are You Tonight? Where are you tonight?
Dreaming of me, when we were happy?
Or dreaming with somebody new?
I promised long ago - your freedom, and you know
whenever you stray, I hope and I pray
you find your way home to me, Cub.

Background: This was written back in 1974, for my Airedale named Cub, who was missing. As it turned out, Cub was taken by a man who planned to keep him. And he would have, but the man's wife kept Cub's collar and dog tags, and after 3 weeks, with her conscience bothering her, called and told me that her husband had taken the dog out for a walk, and on what street corner I could find them at. If you know Portland, Oregon, you will appreciate the fact that Cub was taken from downtown Portland near the Stadium and that I drove across the river down Sandy Blvd. to East 33rd Street! Cub saw me from a block away, ran to me and greeted me with such joy that he almost tumbled me over. I was sobbing. The man was in equal distress, and came up to me in tears, apologizing, because he could see how much the dog and I loved each other. I wrote this song during the 3-week period, when I realized my dog wasn't coming home.
