Rett Madison - Jacqueline

Studying a photo of you
Grinning at the kitchen table
Crowned in jewels and royal blue
Bright and young at twenty-two
Everybody says I'm just like you
Was that one of many days you suffered through

We both know sadness too well
I lost you to its spell
Waking up without you is waking up in hell
I'll never meet you at forty-eight
You won't cry on my wedding day
You'll never hear my children
Say your name


Jacqueline
Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline

Searched your note a hundred times
For answers and peace of mind
Waiting on a letter that'll never come
I missed your call the day before
Could you not take it anymore
I'm waiting on someone to wake me up


Jacqueline
Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline

Left your glasses on the kitchen table
Your favorite pair you always wore
Wonder if you knew I'd find them
And I'd fall to the floor
Screaming out at God
Wishing you'd walk in just to kiss me and hold me, Jacqueline

Ain't that a shame
Jacqueline
You're not to blame
I'm just pissed off and bitter I couldn't save my mother
I'm grappling with what I've got left
Jacqueline
