Jessica, dear Jessica, forget me not
And won't you try to write to me, on your wedding day?
Jessica, my Jessica, you'll look just like a painting
In your dress of white as you walk away

But just remember who taught you how to kiss
I'm gonna miss you, remember back when you were just a lonely girl
All alone in a lonely world
Did I try to care too much, have I lost my touch?

Jessica, dear Jessica, I'll dress in black
And cry upon my pillow, when each day is through
Jessica, my Jessica, the flowers in the fields
Will bow their heads today, 'cause I'm feeling blue

But just remember who taught you how to care
And tell me where I can find the little girl I used to know so well
Could she still be around?
I would give the world to know if she's still in town
