Dear Jeanne

Dear Jeanne,

It's been two years since we met
For the first time
And I asked about your age
You lied nineteen

But I didn't really care
It was nice to have you there
And So I said
Come spend some time with me

Dear Jeanne,

CHORUS
Now, if being loved was seeing
I'd be blind
If lonely was illegal
I'd be fined
Cause since you've gone
My life's a lonely crime
You're out of sight
But you're not out of mind

We talked of things
We knew we'd do together
And we told about our lives
Through things we'd seen

When you and I were there
Our life was without care
And so I said
Come live with me
Dear Jeanne,

CHORUS
Now, if being loved was seeing
I'd be blind
If lonely was illegal
I'd be fined
Cause since you've gone
My life's a lonely crime
You're out of sight
But you're not out of mind

I saw you at the dawn of every new day
Now, I spend my nights
Just thinking of that scene

Yes, life was without care
When you and I were there
And, so I said
Come marry me
Dear Jeanne,

Chorus
Now, if being loved was seeing
I'd be blind
If lonely was illegal
I'd be fined
Cause since you've gone
My life's a lonely crime
You're out of sight
But you're not out of mind

But you said
That wasn't really what you wanted
And I said some things
I really didn't mean

Now, you've been gone so long
I'd write to say I'm wrong
And then to say
Come back to me
Dear Jeanne,

Chorus
If being loved was seeing
I'd be blind
If lonely was illegal
I'd be find
Cause since you've gone
My life's a lonely crime
You're out of sight
But you're not out of mind
