Jacquie's Song

Jacquie settles down for the evening,

She keeps herself warm.

Pulls the blanket around her in the room she calls her home.

But sleep doesn’t come tonight.

There’s too much on her mind.

She’s thinking about the places, the people she’s left behind, and

 O how she misses them now,

 How she feels alone.

 O how she longs for an arm around her.

O how she misses them now,

 How she feels cold.

 O how she longs for an arm around her.


And in this hotel,

From the second floor hall,

You can hear the sound of Jacquie’s tears as they fall.

As she turns through the pages

Just one more time,

Staring at the faces of the people she’s left behind, and

 O how she misses them now,

How she feels alone.

 O how she longs for an arm around her.

O how she misses them now,

How she feels cold.

 O how she longs for an arm around her.


From out in the street she hears children passing by.

Christmas in their voices and it lifts her heart high.

She sees the children playing and she wishes that she might,

She wishes that she…


…Might see her own now.

That she knew how they had faired.

She could see them for Christmas and the gifts they could share.

 O how she misses them now,

 How she feels alone.

 O how she longs for an arm around her.

O how she misses them now,

 How she feels cold.
O how she longs for an arm around her.


Jacquie settles down for the evening,

She keeps herself warm.

Pulls the blanket around her in the room she calls her home.
