Another favorite Barbra song of mine is from the Stoney End album, “I Don’t Know Where I Stand” written by Joni Mitchell. The album was released in 1971. It made it to number 10 on the Billboard Pop charts. Check the “My Favorite Barbra Songs LIST on the left column for more of my favorites!

Lyrics

“I Don’t Know Where I Stand”
by Joni Mitchell

Funny day
Looking for laughter
And finding it there
Sunny day
Braiding wild flowers
And leaves in my hair
Picked up a pencil
And wrote “I LOVE YOU”
In my finest hand
Wanted to send it
But I don’t know
Where I stand
Telephone
Even the sound of your voice
Is still new
All alone in California
I’m talking to you
I’m feeling too foolish and strange
To say the words that I had planned
I guess it’s too early
Cause I don’t know
Where I stand
Doo-doo-doo-ooh
Crickets call
Courting the ladies
In starred apple green
Thicket’s tall
Until the morning
Comes up like a dream
How muted and misty
Such rouse
And I’ll take
What sleep I can
I know that I miss you
But I don’t know
Where I stand
I know that I miss you
But I don’t know
Where I stand
