[Intro]
Where is the missing one, the missing one
Where is the missing one, the missing one

[Verse 1]
There is a missing person that I've just got to find
Now just how long they have been gone
I can't say at this time
I glanced outside my window surprisingly to see
The reflection of a broken man who looked somewhat like me

[Chorus]
I'm trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do?
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I'm turning blue
But wait, I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one

[Verse 2]
I looked inside an album of happy photographs
To try to match the feeling
In the joy I used to have
I traveled through the moments that held a special place
But every time what came to mind is that smile upon your face

[Chorus]
I'm trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do?
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I'm turning blue
But wait, I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one

I'm trying to find my whereabouts, what shall I do?
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I'm turning blue
But wait, I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere lost in yesterday with you

I am trying to find my whereabouts, what can I do?
When nothing seems to follow through
In me, trying to find my whereabouts, I'm turning blue
But wait, I may have found a clue
My whereabouts are somewhere lost in yesterday with you
Where is the missing one, the missing one
Where is the missing one, the missing one
Where is the missing one, the missing one, yeah
Where is the missing one, the missing one

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
