J For Jules

I was winding my clock
 Which was waking us up
 In the morning, we were laughing
 Away like fools
 I was saying my prayers
 He was combing his hair
 In a country that began with a
 'J' for Jules
 You know I'll miss you
 And thus it begins
 But I'll release you
 And thus it continues -
 Someday we'll be happy again
 Oh, the rain never comes
 Count my blessings on my thumbs
 And the dogs just want to sleep in the
 Sun all day
 You know I'll miss you
 And thus it begins
 But I'll release you
 And thus it continues
 Someday we'll be happy again
 There's no way a country like that could die
 Told me that they drift away
 But that's a lie
 Well, I just bought a car
 But it stays in the yard
 And the country that began with a 'J'
 Now ends in my heart
 You know I'll miss you
 And thus it begins
 But I'll release you
 And thus it continues
 Someday we'll be happy again
 Someday we'll be happy again
 Someday we'll be happy again
 (Ooooh)
 (Ooooh)
 (Ooooh)
 (Oh)
