Shirley Jean Lyrics

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 18
Sent me to prison, they said I was mean
And as young as I was, I could handle my own
¿the being there and dealt with have left cold stone?

Its 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
Its my last night and I thought you should know

Writing 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

Its 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
Its 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 dancing with me.
In this cold world I did all I could do,
I never had love but the closest was you.

Its 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
Its my last night and I thought you should know

Its my last night, I thought you should know.
