I had you,
I had everything
I ever needed.
You were everything to me, Jack. You were truly my everything: everything I cared about, everything I loved.
From that first look I knew
I'd found Heaven in your eyes.
But who was to know
The way it would go?
I have no regrets.
Glad I let you in,
Wouldn't have missed one moment.
I would do it all over again,
I'd loved you since I first set eyes on you, Jack. The time we spent together was the best time of my life. Our relationship had its ups and downs at first: you didn't like me, then you ignored me, then you kind of liked me, and then we were together. But we made it through.
'Cause I was loved,
I was touched,
And I learned what love is,
And I learned what love is.
I was blessed,
So blessed,
'Cause I learned what love is,
I learned what love is
From loving you.
I learned so much from you, Jack. I learned so much from loving you. You taught me so much about love, about life, about happiness. I really did learn what love is, as corny as that may sound.
I held you,
I held everything
I ever dreamed of.
I'd always dreamed of falling in love. Then I fell in love with you, and everything turned upside-down. But in a good way. Suddenly, my entire world was changed.
With that first kiss from you,
All this world seemed all so right.
But who was to see
The way it would be?
I'll never forget
The Heaven we shared.
And I'll thank God for every moment,
Every moment that I had you there.
You were always there for me. I will treasure every precious moment we had together in my heart, for the rest of my life. I promise, Jack.
'Cause I was loved,
I was touched,
And I learned what love is,
And I learned what love is.
I was blessed,
So blessed,
'Cause I learned what love is,
I learned what love is
From loving you.
You made everything in my life okay. With one hug, one kiss, one embrace, everything was right again. You blessed me.
Some people search their whole lives,
Never found what I found in your eyes.
Glad I got to have the chance to have you in my life.
I won't be sad when I look back,
'Cause I was,
I wouldn't trade our time together for anything, Jack. I did love you, and I'm glad I found you, glad you were in my life. When I look back on our time together, I'm not sad . . . I'm happy. You made me happy.
I was loved,
I was touched,
And I learned what love is,
And I learned what love is.
I was blessed,
So blessed,
'Cause I learned what love is,
I learned what love is
From loving you.
I know we're not together anymore, Jack. I haven't seen you in months . . . years. Soon after I rejoined my parents, I was offered a recording contract. I went on tour by myself, not with the Molly Phillips Band. I became famous. You inspired me, Jack. You showed me what I could be if I really tried. I did love you. In a way, I always will. You will always be in my heart. I hope you find someone, someday, who will truly make you happy, Jack.
I brush a tear from my eye as the audience bursts into applause. I smile, holding my guitar, and I exit the stage.
