The Ballad (Denny & Jean)

Jean did her best

Denny worked hard

And so together made him a star

And he loved her

Money changed hands

Denny must start

Tallying up things close to his heart

And he loved her so

But we don't always know what to say

When they ask you, what do you say?

No one can tell what's in a heart

People just drift apart

Jean lost her head

Denny got mad

"how, jean," he said, "can things be so bad

Right before my eyes"

Jean told a lie, denny deceived

Jean packed her bags to leave

"jean, if you must go

Before you do

Tell me you know I did it for you

And I loved you so."
