Lyrics by William Zinsser
SOMEONE NEW
Where did he [she] go?
The boy [girl] I was this morning?
Who never knew that birds could sing
and skies could be so blue.
Where did she [he] come from?
She [He] wasn’t here this morning.
She [He] chased away the other me
and brought in someone new.
How could that melancholy former me
Slip away?
I could have sworn that he [she]
Was here to stay.
Where did he [she] go?
He [She] left without a warning.
But here’s the thing
I’m really certain of:
That missing he [she]
Has left a brand new me,
A brand new boy [girl] in love.
