Lyrics:

(Chapin Hartford) Id put a liittle love note in a bottle throw it off the Bay Street Bridge Watch it glide along the willows Id run along the bank with the other kids If that bottle didnt hang up on the stones It would ride that river with a will of its own Itd go underground and come up in the crecek behind Jackies house, Jackies house Id hang around until Jackie came out My hands would shake my heart would ache I didnt know what is was but I first felt love Behind Jackies house You could hear a pin drop in that parlor it was horsechair chairs and old lace Jackie sat beside me like a statue The other kids were out playing kidsgames Those funny feelings strage and unknown They would rise like the river with a will of their own With the risk I took when I first stole a look into Jackies eyes, Jackies eyes I saw forever like an endless sky My hands would shake my heart would ache I didnt know what is was but I first saw love Behind Jackies eyes After all this time Jackies hearts still mine And the love keeps on flowing behind Jackies house, oh ... Now our little ones they laugh and run down by the creek in the summer sun Jackies and me and the years agree We know what it is, its love and it lives here In Jackies house oh and in Jackies eyes Oh in Jackies heart and mine
