Sorry, your meaning was unclear. But the logic of the situation is simple: Lightroom runs therefore it's not in the Trash and it still exists in the file system according to what Eric has reported. There's no need to uninstall, re-install, or hunt around under the coffee table. ;-)
Run it to get it in the Dock if it isn't there already, use the Dock's features to locate it. Then put it where it belongs.
