What Now, What Next, Where To

Elvis Presley · Country Side Of Elvis [1999]

Like a ship without a compass

on a cold lonely sea

No beacon light of love to guide me through

I lost the only treasure

that means anything to me

What now, what next, where to?



I thought I had a love that would be mine eternally

I felt so sure you'd be forever true

Now everything I counted on has crumbled under you

What now, what next, where to?



You were part of every dream I dreamed,

of everything I planned

How could I know our castles

were built upon the sand

Won't heaven send an angel please,

to tell me what to do

What now, what next, where to?

What now, what next , where to?
