Album: Thinkin' About You
(Chapin Hartford)
Iґd put a liittle love note in a bottle throw it off the Bay Street
Bridge
Watch it glide along the willows
Iґd run along the bank with the other kids
If that bottle didnґt hang up on the stones
It would ride that river with a will of its own
Itґd go underground and come up in the crecek behind
Jackieґs house, Jackieґs house
Iґd hang around until Jackie came out
My hands would shake my heart would ache
I didnґt know what is was but I first felt love
Behind Jackieґs house
You could hear a pin drop in that parlor it was horsechair chairs and old
lace
Jackie sat beside me like a statue
The other kids were out playing kidsґgames
Those funny feelings strage and unknown
They would rise like the river with a will of their own
With the risk I took when I first stole a look into
Jackieґs eyes, Jackieґs eyes
I saw forever like an endless sky
My hands would shake my heart would ache
I didnґt know what is was but I first saw love
Behind Jackieґs eyes
After all this time Jackieґs heartґs still mine
And the love keeps on flowing behind Jackieґs house, oh ...
Now our little ones they laugh and run down by the creek in the summer
sun
Jackieґs and me and the years agree
We know what it is, itґs love and it lives here
In Jackieґs house oh and in Jackieґs eyes
Oh in Jackieґs heart and mine
