Het nummer begint en eindigt met een gesproken inleiding waarin verteld wordt dat hij eens gelukkig was. Echter, zijn meisje verliet hem, nu maakt hij maar wandelingen naar de bioscoop of naar het park, en probeert zijn ellende te verbergen door het vertellen van moppen aan kinderen die hem kennen. Hoe hard hij ook probeert zijn ellende te vergeten door te geloven dat ze terugkomt, gebeurt dit niet. Tegen het einde van het lied, als een andere dag aan zijn einde komt, hoopt hij een brief van haar te krijgen. Hij eindigt zijn verhaal door te denken dat hij het ​​meisje weer had aangeraakt.

Trivia

Songtekst

[Spoken:]
One month ago today
I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks
To the movies - maybe to the park

And have a seat on the same old bench
To watch the children play (huh)
You know, tomorrow is their future
But to me, just another day

They all gather around me
They seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes
But it still doesn't ease my pain

I know I can't hide from a memory
'Though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back
But today again I lied

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street, and even at the picture show
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I hear her voice as the cold winds blow
In the sweet music on my radio
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Why, oh, why
Did she have to leave and go away (oh, yeah)

Oh-oh-oh, I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
And I'm lost
Baby, I'm lost (Oh)

Oh, she left her kiss upon my lips
But left that break within my heart
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

Oh, I see her hand reaching out to me
Only she can set me free
Have you seen her?
Tell me, have you seen her?

[Spoken:]
As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man
You know, it's funny
I thought I had her in the palm of my hand

[Repeat to fade:]
Have you seen her
Tell me, have you seen her (tell me, have you seen her?)
