To Jenny
A Song Lyric
by Sheila King
1. Outside snow is falling,
the wind is blowing cold
Inside Jenny’s dreaming
of a time she wasn’t old
Someone’s calling, “Jenny,
catch me if you can.”
And Jenny sees a picture of
a blue-eyed handsome man.
Chorus:
“Be kind to Jenny,” I hear someone say.
But Jenny’s not with them. She’s in yesterday.
2. Jenny wed the young man.
Loved him many years
Hand in hand they built a life
with laughter and with tears.
Now her love is sleeping.
Jenny’s all alone
And spends her days dreaming
of being back in her own home
Repeat Chorus:
3. Outside snow is falling.
The wind is blowing cold.
Inside Jenny’s dreaming
of a time she wasn’t old.
In a room next door to Jenny’s
a voice says, “I love you.”
Fifty years back in the past, she says,
“Darlin’ I love you too.”
Repeat Chorus:
