Lyrics

There she was, in her usual way
Always on her own
Her thoughts ran deep, she preferred not to say
Turned her back, walked alone
Then one day he took her away, she flew on his dark wing
They fell in love and stayed that way
As far as that would bring, as far as that would bring
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, eyes so bright and true
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, I’ll do right by you, I’ll do right by you
Then another came my way, gentle as a deer
I did not care, I did not dare, and chose to oversteer
Oh what sorrow she endured, oh what pain she knew
And my heart was cold as a stone
The stone I carelessly threw, the stone I carelessly threw
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, eyes so bright and true
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, I’ll do right by you, I’ll do right by you
She came ‘round from an eastern town
Took three hours to drive
Walked her through the old side door, she was barely alive
Oh I watched and waited still, the days and weeks went by
She fought so hard, and she made it through
Tears came, not gonna lie, tears came, not gonna lie
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, eyes so bright and true
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, I’ll do right by you, I’ll do right by you
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, eyes so bright and true
Jacqueline, Jacqueline, I’ll do right by you, I’ll do right by you
Jacqueline, Jacqueline…
