The Ballad of Jayne Lyrics
She was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
U were always on my mind
A childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let u go
Hear me now cause I want ya to know
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still thing of u in the night
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
A diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know how much I loved ya so
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
U were always on my mind
A childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let u go
Hear me now cause I want ya to know
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven
Shining bright in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still thing of u in the night
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so
Now it all seems funny
Kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame
What happened to Jayne
