(chapin hartford)



I´d put a liittle love note in a bottle throw it off the bay street

Bridge

Watch it glide along the willows

I´d run along the bank with the other kids

If that bottle didn´t hang up on the stones

It would ride that river with a will of its own

It´d go underground and come up in the crecek behind



Jackie´s house, jackie´s house

I´d hang around until jackie came out

My hands would shake my heart would ache

I didn´t know what is was but i first felt love

Behind jackie´s 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 kids´games

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



Jackie´s eyes, jackie´s eyes

I saw forever like an endless sky

My hands would shake my heart would ache

I didn´t know what is was but i first saw love

Behind jackie´s eyes



After all this time jackie´s heart´s still mine

And the love keeps on flowing behind jackie´s house, oh ...

Now our little ones they laugh and run down by the creek in the summer

Sun

Jackie´s and me and the years agree

We know what it is, it´s love and it lives here

In jackie´s house oh and in jackie´s eyes

Oh in jackie´s heart and mine
