The Last Time I Saw Jacqueline

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The last time I saw Jacqueline She was sitting by herself in Tony's restaurant The thirty-year-old debutante Whispering to ghosts in the room [Verse 2] She saw me at my table and she smiled And she said something, but I couldn't hear Something I'll never hear Jacqueline with the past in her eyes [Bridge 1] The happy years were over All her lovers had gone And left her alone If only she'd known I loved her so She never, ever gave me a chance To say how I felt about her Now it's all too late [Verse 3] In the green days, I'd follow her around Her picture was the bookmark in my Hemingway It tears a boy's heart away Loving girls who don't care about love [Bridge 2] I loved her so Jacqueline, Jacqueline [Verse 4] The last time I saw Jacqueline Her chauffeur was helping her into her car They didn't get very far
