Mark Olson - My Own Jo Ellen lyrics

Why is this day like no other day

Oh you've waited so long

To be sure love is all

And the first flowers bloom ? back on the farm

The windows were warm

Back home the windows are frozen shut

Glad that you showed me how

To get out of the cold

And you almost had a house there in Mendocino

We used to drive through the countryside

And I will miss your dear sweet smile

All the while

I'll see you again

My own Jo Ellen someone who knows

Someone just as long you've been around

There's an empty old sound

Like the day coming down

We used to drive through the countryside

And I will miss your dear sweet smile

All the while

I'll see you again

My own Jo Ellen

Why is this day

Why is this day like no other day

Oh you've waited so long

To be sure love is all

And the first flowers bloom ? back on the farm
