Jill Mason lies awake in the night
She can’t sleep for the tears in her eyes
When she wakes me, I’ll know what to say

She doesn’t mind sudden moments of pain
But being gradually nudged into shame
It makes her worry that I’m just gonna fly away
But smoothing her frown
I’ll quietly say

Maybe they’re after us
Maybe we’ll lose the fight
But you’re looking fabulous
In my arms tonight

She lit most of her father’s cigars
When they were singing her songs in the car
Jill wondered what time was gonna give and take

She knows why he left yeah
She’ll know all her life
Every hour of the day and especially at night
She wakes in a bad way
And hopes I wouldn’t do the same
But holding her close
I’ll always be saying

Maybe they’re after us
Maybe we’ll lose the fight
But you’re looking fabulous
In my arms tonight

And maybe they’ll corner us
With no happy end in sight
But Jill, you’re looking fabulous
In my arms tonight

I’ll be the first to say
We could’ve been more
But honestly Jill
There’s nothing else I want to live for

Maybe they’re after us
Maybe we’ll lose the fight
But you’re looking fabulous
In my arms tonight

And maybe they’ll corner us
With no happy end in sight
But Jill, you’re looking fabulous
In my arms tonight

She knows why he left yeah
She’ll know all her life
Every hour of the day and especially at night
But you're fabulous
In my arms tonight
In my arms tonight
