'j' for Jules

I was winding my clock
Which was waking us up
In the morning
We were laughing away like fools

I was saying my prayers
He was combing his hair
In a country
That began with a
"J" for Jules

You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again

Oh, the rain never comes
Count my blessings on my thumbs
And the dogs just
Want to sleep in the sun all day

You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There's no way a country like that could die
Told me that they drift away
But that's a lie

Well, I just bought a car
But it stays in the yard
And the country
That began with a "J"
Now ends in my heart

You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues
Someday we'll be happy again
Someday we'll be happy again
Someday we'll be happy again

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
