Ballad of Jayne Lyrics
The Ballad of Jayne
She was always something special
Diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know, how much I loved ya so
Now it all seems funny, kinda like a dream
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame... what happened to Jayne
You were always on my mind
Childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let you go
Hear me now, cause I want you to know
Now she's breaking hearts in heaven
Shining bright, in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night
Oh yeah.....
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so
Diamond shining bright in the rain
Everybody dreams of angels
No one will ever know, how much I loved ya so
Things ain't always what they seem
What a shame... what happened to Jayne
Childlike summer days in the sun
Slowly wishes turn to sadness
Time don't heal a broken gun
I wish I'd never let you go
Hear me now, cause I want you to know
Shining bright, in the sky
I still hear her voice in the wind
I still think of you in the night
Oh yeah.....
Well I guess she'll never know
How much I need her so

This song brings me back to a time.... wow. Recently a musician friend of mine from back in the days passed away. He was only 36 when he died, but this song makes me think of him. Cuz it does seem like a dream. The parties, the fun times, the sunshine, all the craziness. Here's to you, T!
i can't believe there's only one other comment for this song!!! i absolutely love this song, it definitely brings me back. i also have it on my cell phone so you can listen to it while waiting for me to answer instead of the phone "ringing". i've heard it's about jayne mansfield but i don't know if that's true or not. and, boxermom1004, i'm very sorry about your friend. may he rest in peace.
amazing song brings up strong emotions i think ther text doesn't need to be described. i think it's one of the best balleds i ever heard. it reminds me a bit of patienca from gn'r
"i've heard it's about jayne mansfield but i don't know if that's true or not."
Yeah, thats true. It is about Jayne Mansfield.
I love this song. I have had it on a hair metal disc for more than a decade now but only recently fell in love with it. No idea why it never caught my attention before. The meaning is self-explanatory. About the death of Jayne.
Sure, it was written specifically about Jayne Mansfield, but like any good set of lyrics, it doesn't have to be taken that way. My favorite lines are "Childlike summer days in the sun / Slowly wishes turn to sadness." That's when you find out whatever it is you think is so great, a relationship or a dream or whatever, either isn't all you thought, or isn't going to last, or happen at al.
I figured this song would have more comments...it is beautiful! Obviously about the death of Jayne!
Beautiful song..... We can all relate this song to the people we love who have passed away.....It will always be a shame...
