Jamie (Summer - 1976)
by Elizabeth Van Cleve 

When it began
it started with hi
And if it ended
there sure was no goodbye

'Cause when it came to that

maybe we were just yellow
I guess we kept hoping someday
we'd hear the other say hello
 

I still hope
that is if you hope

I keep lots of memories of having such fun
And all of these memories, I'll always keep Hon

At any rate
When I think of it, we met by fate
I happened to be around at one time
When you had already been there that time

I met you, because I wanted to meet you
You met me, because that's what you wanted to do

Isn't it the perfect way
You know, I'll never forget that day

Who could forget
how after we met
in a driveway, we played two-square
thoughout the night in that cool evening air

We had a special kind of closeness
no one else could beat
It was only us
who knew how sweet

I hope no one will ever blame me
It's just I'll always miss you Jamie

To some now it may seem too late
they wouldn't continue to wait

I yearn to hear one hello
from that really sweet fellow
named Jamie whose name I'll never forget
nor thinking of him will I ever regret

If I could say only one thing to you
it would be simply that I'll always love you
