[Verse]
Penny Jean was the sunlight, through my window pane,
Every laugh and whisper, eased my every pain.
But love like ours ain't built to last, it's just a fleeting dream,
And now she's gone, leaving echoes in the breeze.
[Verse 2]
I walked through empty hallways, with a heavy hearted sound,
Saw her picture on the mantel, but she ain't around.
Those gentle words, they haunt me, like a restless ghost,
In this broken-hearted silence, I feel her absence most.
[Chorus]
Penny Jean, oh Penny Jean, you took my world away,
Left me standing in the shadows, where the memories play.
How I thought we'd conquer time, but I was just a fool,
Penny Jean, you broke my heart, and love's a cruel tool.
[Verse 3]
The old jukebox is silent, where our song used to play,
No more dancing in the moonlight, no more sweet serenade.
Every night, I'm drowning in a glass half full of tears,
Remembering the love we shared, and all the wasted years.
[Bridge]
The autumn leaves are falling, just like shattered dreams,
Her name is etched in sorrow, like a desperate scream.
How I long to hold her, and erase this endless pain,
But all that's left is heartache, and this bitter rain.
[Verse 4]
I wander through the memories, trying to find a sign,
That love's not just a moment, faded over time.
But the silence keeps on growing, like a shadow in the night,
Penny Jean, you left me here, without a guiding light.
