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?
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?
What Now, What Next, Where To?
