Jessica, dear Jessica, forget me not and won't you try to write to me, on your wedding day?
Jessica, dear 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, or 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
