I Wonder What Became Of Me

I Wonder What Became Of Me
music by Harold Arlen (left)
lyric by Johnny Mercer (right)

Lights are bright, pianos make music all the night
And they pour champagne just like it was rain.
It's a sight to see, but I wonder what became of me.
Crowds go by, that merry making laughter in their eye
And the laughter's fine, but I wonder what became of mine.

Life's sweet as honey and yet it's funny,
I get a feeling that I can't analyze,
It's like, well, maybe, like when a baby sees
A bubble burst before its eyes.

Oh, I've had my fling, I've been around and seen most ev'ry thing,
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.

Oh, 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.
