Verse 1:
Jolene, I never saw you fall
from the sky.

Jolene, and it wasn’t very long ‘til I fell
from that height.

Chorus:
The time we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

The laughs we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

Verse 2:
Jolene, whenever you’re around,
the sun shines… bright.

Jolene, and it’s always what it seems;
in my arms, you’re alright.

Chorus:
The time we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

The laughs we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

Verse 3:
Jolene, the teardrops you won’t hide…
fall tonight.

Let go of the fear and all the darkness
inside… your eyes.

Chorus:
The time we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

The laughs we shared,
got me through a lot,
just thought I’d let you know…

Author's Note: I now have a rough version of this song. Obviously some microphone and vocal issues to iron out, but you get the idea... Click here to listen. (Some ideas borrowed from the new Ben Folds song, "Late".)
