Shirley Jean

Hey Shirley Jean, I hope this finds you good

I wanted to write but didn't know if I should

So many years now that I lost what is real

But I still remember how you made me feel

From boys' home to boys' home until I was eighteen

Sent me to prison, they said I was mean

And as young as I was, I could handle my own

The men that I dealt with have left cold stone

It's the last night that I'll see your face

Daydreams of you were my sweetest place

Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go

It's my last night and I thought you should know

Writin' these words don't come easy to me

But I've run out of time and soon I'll be free

And you were the only one I ever had

The only bright spot in a life that went bad

The years they have past but I got through them all

With the wallet size picture of you on my wall

And the way that you kissed me without regret

It's something my heart will never forget

It's the last night that I'll see your face

Daydreams of you were my sweetest place

Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go

It's my last night, I thought you should know

When they flip the switch I hope all I can see

It's you in my arms dancin' with me

In this cold world I did all I could do

I never had love but the closest was you

It's the last night that I see your face

Daydreams of you were my sweetest place

Time's taken its toll but I'm alright to go

It's my last night and I thought you should know

It's my last night, thought you should know
