I Do It For You Jane - Harry Chapin[00:00:05]
I first heard you sing in the Empire Room[00:00:09]
Your husky hum engulfed the gloom[00:00:14]
And whatever mission that brought me there[00:00:19]
Disappeared in the mist of your amber hair[00:00:23]
You laughed and surrendered your gifts by degrees[00:00:30]
But I was convinced that you spoke only to me[00:00:34]
And my life turned on its hinge in that smoky club[00:00:39]
As I ground out my past with my cigarette stub[00:00:44]
Oh I do it for you Jane I love you so[00:00:51]
My kingdom is new but it's going to grow[00:00:57]
Our castle will shimmer with silver and gold[00:01:00]
My lady is lovely you'll never grow old[00:01:05]
And I offer this promise this one thing I know[00:01:11]
I do it for you Jane for I love you so[00:01:16]
I left that town and went out on my own[00:01:39]
I made my own kind of music as I juggled the phones[00:01:42]
And all the while I worked I was reaching towards a time[00:01:48]
When I'd return to find you and finally make you mine[00:01:53]
It took most of two years to do what must be done[00:01:59]
Collect the pieces of the puzzle you're the final one[00:02:03]
I was shaking as I asked you and you know by now I guess[00:02:08]
You made me happy ever after when you said Yes[00:02:14]
Yes I do it for you Jane I love you so[00:02:21]
My kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow[00:02:25]
Our castle it shimmers with silver and gold[00:02:30]
My lady is lovely you'll never grow old[00:02:34]
And I shout from the heavens Hello there down below[00:02:40]
I do it for you Jane for I love you so[00:02:45]
If life could only stay the same but I guess it never does[00:03:11]
But God I still remember how excited I was[00:03:16]
Feelings of power I'd never known before[00:03:22]
But winning whets the appetite I had to have more[00:03:26]
Homes in New York and London on the beach at Malibu[00:03:32]
I bought one for each facet of woman in you[00:03:37]
By then you had retired from singing to bring our baby home[00:03:42]
And I was winging around the country and you found you were alone[00:03:47]
Still I do it for you Jane I love you so[00:03:54]
Our kingdom is flourishing and still it will grow[00:03:59]
Our castles all shimmer with silver and gold[00:04:04]
But my lady is lonely your smile is growing cold[00:04:08]
As I search through the mists on the roads I must go[00:04:14]
Where are you now Jane For I love you so[00:04:19]
