Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk
Ab Bb6
When Ivor peered above a spectacle

Ab
And how in the return of the gaze
Bb6
She can return you the face
Cm
that you are staring from

When Ivor peered above a spectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Sometimes these eyes forget the face they're peering from
When the face they peer upon

And how in the return of the gaze
She can return you the face that you are staring from
