Her Name Was Jackie
© 2008 Alan Kim Cochran

Her name was Jackie, could've been mine
But I let her go, in her own time
Her name was Jackie, 'could've been mine

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me

Her love for me, began as a secret
This English girl, with bright auburn hair
But then, she told me one night, head upon folded arms
And her eyes of blue, looking up into mine

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me

Catching my breath, looking upon you
My fool's heart, skipping a beat
But, I thought you were wild, how wrong can I be?
We were meant for each other, but I couldn't see

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me

Years later, I met you... with long shinning hair
And then I knew you... answer to my prayer
And, so many years... that I was alone
Without you, without you, without you

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me

And, you would have had me, if only you'd stayed
As you were, in that long night
Your flashing blues eyes, arms upon a table
Looking at me, looking at you

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me
Oh Jackie, come back for me

Your name was Jackie, 'could've been mine
But I was a fool, and I never knew you
But, I'm wishing I had... Lord! I'm wishing I had!
Can you hear me now? I'm wishing I had

Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, come back for me
Oh Jackie, please come back for me
Oh Jackie, come back for me
