I first heard you sing in the Empire Room Your husky hum engulfed the gloom And whatever mission that brought me there Disappeared in the mist of your amber hair You laughed and surrendered your gifts by degrees But I was convinced that you spoke only to me And my life turned on its hinge in that smoky club As I ground out my past with my cigarette stub Oh, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so My kingdom is new but it's going to grow Our castle will shimmer with silver and gold My lady is lovely, you'll never grow old And I offer this promise, this one thing I know I do it for you, Jane, for I love you so I left that town and went out on my own I made my own kind of music as I juggled the phones And all the while I worked, I was reaching towards a time When I'd return to find you and finally make you mine It took most of two years to do what must be done Collect the pieces of the puzzle, you're the final one I was shaking as I asked you and you know by now I guess You made me happy ever after when you said, ?Yes? Yes, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so My kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow Our castle, it shimmers with silver and gold My lady is lovely, you'll never grow old And I shout from the heavens, ?Hello there, down below? I do it for you, Jane, for I love you so If life could only stay the same but I guess it never does But God, I still remember how excited I was Feelings of power I'd never known before But winning whets the appetite, I had to have more Homes in New York and London, on the beach at Malibu I bought one for each facet of woman in you By then you had retired from singing to bring our baby home And I was winging around the country and you found you were alone Still, I do it for you, Jane, I love you so Our kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow Our castles all shimmer with silver and gold But my lady is lonely, your smile is growing cold As I search through the mists on the roads I must go Where are you now, Jane? For I love you so |
