Knowing an alcoholic can be tough on everyone... Sometimes people ruin their lives before they know how it happened... JIM AND JACK When was the last time we cuddled together I look back and wonder how it could have been better Back when you were mine and we had nothing to worry But I drank so much that you left in a fury You’re gone now and I’m alone here to think What would I have said without that last drink I wish I could feel the touch of your lips Been so long since I’ve tasted your kiss Play Chorus Why did we have to end it this way I take it all back just come home and stay Why didn’t I just try to make it work out Can’t even remember what the fight was about My friends have all left me I pissed them away Couldn’t let me be when I had my bad days Its all so clear to me now what they think Its what I said when I had too much to drink Play Chorus That’s the last time that I’ll be left in the breeze I see I’m unwelcome and its time that I leave Gotta be brave and hold back the tears Forget how easy it will be to disappear The drinks possess me and change my mood I’m getting rid of the bottles just for you There’s more out there for me so I’ve been told I’m taking my trip to the end of the old Play Chorus X 2 Chorus: Jim and Jack you are my only Tip up slowly and go right to sleep When its us together I’m not so lonely In the morning we’ll hit the streets |

Thank you for posting this. It makes one think about how much pain there is for the alcoholic. We need to be reminded. Barb |

it's a lovely piece, I am just curious about what this chorus is that you've referred to. It's a good piece |

The chorus is as follows... Chorus: Jim and Jack you are my only Tip up slowly and go right to sleep When its us together I’m not so lonely In the morning we’ll hit the streets This song is written about a friend who i know in his mid thirties... He had spent the last few years living as a bum... Finally he has had his wake up call... And now he's in college! |
