Jacqueline

Studyin' a photo of you grinnin' at the kitchen table Crowned in jewels and royal blue Bright and young at twenty-two, everybody says I'm just like you Was that one of many days you suffered through? Both know sadness too well, I lost you to its spell Wakin' up without you is wakin' up in hell I'll never meet you at forty-eight You won't cry on my weddin' day You'll never hear my children say your name Jacqueline, ain't that a shame? Jacqueline, you're not to blame I'm just pissed off, bitter I couldn't save my mother I'm grapplin' with what I've got left Jacqueline Searched your note a hundred times For answers and peace of mind Waitin' on a letter that'll never come I missed your call the day before Could you not take it anymore? I'm waitin' on someone to wake me up Jacqueline, ain't that a shame? Jacqueline, you're not to blame I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother I'm grapplin' with what I've got left Jacqueline Left your glasses on the kitchen table Your favorite pair you always wore Wonder if you knew I'd find them, and I'd fall to the floor Screamin' out at God, wishin' you'd walk in Just to kiss me and hold me Jacqueline Ain't that a shame? Jacqueline, you're not to blame I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother I'm grapplin' with what I've got left Jacqueline
