Jack And Lucy

© Hugh Moffatt

We first heard this in Germany, September 2006 - sung for, and dedicated to, jiva. What a wonderful experience, and one that touched us deeply.

Thank you, Arno, we love the song - and thank you sincerely for the wonderful gesture. And, of course, you were right... we just have to sing this.

Jimmy and Val

Where are you going, Lucy, what you doing girl?
Come on over, sit next to me
I have something to ask you
Oh Lucy, will you marry me?

What are you saying, Jack, what do you mean
Marry me, we're just fifteen
But I surely do love you
Yes Jack, I will marry you

And we'll mix the bright colours of our childhood dreams
With the gentle tones that only come in time
And all the beauty that life can hold will surely be yours and mine

Where are you going, Lucy, what you doing girl?
Come back here, lie back down
For I want to feel your heartbeat
Oh Lucy, lie with me a while

What are you saying, Jack, can't you see
The sun is high, it's getting late
Oh I do love how you love me
But Jack, wait until tonight

And we'll mix the bright colours of our childhood dreams
With the gentle tones that only come in time
And all the beauty that life can hold will surely be yours and mine

Where are you going, Lucy, what you doing girl
With that suitcase in your hand?
Is there something you can't tell me
Oh Lucy, help me understand

What are you saying, Jack, can't you see
We're not children any more
I'll be thirty two tomorrow
And Jack, I am leaving you

We have lost the bright colours of our childhood dreams
And the sombre tones have clouded up our lives
And I need the beauty that life can hold that no longer is yours and mine

Where are you going, Lucy, what you doing girl
You've been married three times, or is it four?
Don't you think it's time to come home
Oh Lucy, what you waiting for?

What are you saying, Jack, I can't believe
You still want me, I'm getting old
I guess you know I always loved you
This time Jack, I will never go

And we'll mix the bright colours of our childhood dreams
With the gentle tones that only come in time
And all the beauty that life can hold will surely be yours and mine

Where are you going, Lucy, I can barely walk
And you can't answer any more
I will follow you to the churchyard
Oh Lucy, I will bury you

What are you saying, Jack, can't you see
You can't hear me any more
But can't you feel me in that west wind?
Oh Jack, we will meet again

And we'll mix the bright colours of our childhood dreams
With the gentle tones that only come in time
And all the beauty that life can hold will surely be yours and mine

Jack, all the beauty that life can hold, forever is yours and mine...
