Dear Jeanne Lyrics - Tom Scullin

Dear Jeanne, 

It's been two years since we met 

For the first time 

And I asked about your age 

You lied nineteen 

But I didn't really care 

It was nice to have you there 

And So I said 

Come spend some time with me 

Dear Jeanne, 

CHORUS 

Now, if being loved was seeing 

I'd be blind 

If lonely was illegal 

I'd be fined 

Cause since you've gone 

My life's a lonely crime 

You're out of sight 

But you're not out of mind 

We talked of things 

We knew we'd do together 

And we told about our lives 

Through things we'd seen 

When you and I were there 

Our life was without care 

And so I said 

Come live with me 

Dear Jeanne, 

CHORUS 

Now, if being loved was seeing 

I'd be blind 

If lonely was illegal 

I'd be fined 

Cause since you've gone 

My life's a lonely crime 

You're out of sight 

But you're not out of mind 

I saw you at the dawn of every new day 

Now, I spend my nights 

Just thinking of that scene 

Yes, life was without care 

When you and I were there 

And, so I said 

Come marry me 

Dear Jeanne, 

Chorus 

Now, if being loved was seeing 

I'd be blind 

If lonely was illegal 

I'd be fined 

Cause since you've gone 

My life's a lonely crime 

You're out of sight 

But you're not out of mind 

But you said 

That wasn't really what you wanted 

And I said some things 

I really didn't mean 

Now, you've been gone so long 

I'd write to say I'm wrong 

And then to say 

Come back to me 

Dear Jeanne, 

Chorus 

If being loved was seeing 

I'd be blind 

If lonely was illegal 

I'd be find 

Cause since you've gone 

My life's a lonely crime 

You're out of sight 

But you're not out of mind
