This was written for Jessica two months after she and Jana left. Feb 5, 1982
[C] Jessie, these [F] days have slowly [G] passed.
Oh [F] Jessie, you’ve [C/e] grown up oh so [D] fast
[F/e] Why”d you [C/g] leave me?
You [Am/?] took away my [F/c] heart.
Oh [C/e] Jessie, too [F] bad we [G] had to [C] part
[CHORUS 1]
[Am] I still [F] love you. I [G] want to make it [C] clear.
[Am] Do not [F] falter, and [Bb] blame yourself through [E] tears.
[Am] Me and your [F] mother just [G] couldn’t make [C] amends
It was [F] not your fault our [Eb] marriage [G] had to [C] end.
[C] Summers turned an [F] icy sort of [G] gray.
It [F] seemed as if love [C] faded more each [D] day.
[F] Then came [C] Jessie. You [Am] took our hearts [F] away.
and for [C] Jessie, I [F] wanted [G] so to [C] stay.
[CHORUS 2]
[Am] Cause I [F] love you; and [G] that’s what makes me [C] cry.
[Am] I can’t [F] hold you. No [Bb] matter how I [E] try.
For [Am] you’re now in [F] Ohio, two [G] thousand miles [C] away.
But I [F] know I’ll hold you [Eb] on some [G] other [C] day.
[CHORUS 3]
[Am] I still [F] love you. I [G] want to make it [C] clear.
[Am] Do not [F] falter, and [Bb] blame yourself through [E] tears.
[Am] Me and your [F] mother just [G] wanted to be [C] friends
so [F] Jessie, don’t [Eb] blame [G] yourself [C] again.
