I woke up and immediately sat down to write this song for a friend who was dying of cancer. I found a few days later that she'd passed away on the day that the song was written.

DEAR JANE
By Jim Counter

MY DEAR JANE
BEEN THINKIN’ ‘BOUT YOU
HOPIN’ AND PRAYIN’ THAT YOU’RE FEELIN’ BRAND NEW
BUT IF YOU NEED ANYTHING, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO
CALL AND I’LL BE THERE

MY DEAR JANE
DON’T WANT YOU TO CRY
THE CLOUDS CAN’T KEEP HIDIN’ THE SUN FROM THE SKY
BUT IF THERE’S A TEARDROP YOU’D LIKE SOMEONE TO DRY
CALL AND I’LL BE THERE

LIFE IS THE REASON YOU’RE LIVING EACH MOMENT
SHARIN’ YOUR DREAMS WITH THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE
AND EVERY GOOD MEMORY THAT TIME HASN’T STOLEN
IS TREASURED LIKE THE HEAVENS ABOVE

OH, MY DEAR JANE
THERE’S SO MUCH TO SAY
SO MUCH TO FEEL WHEN YOU’RE LAUGHIN’ THAT WAY
BUT IF YOU EVER GET LONELY AT THE END OF THE DAY
CALL AND I’LL BE THERE

LIFE IS THE REASON YOU’RE LIVING EACH MOMENT
SHARING YOUR DREAMS WITH THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE
AND EVERY GOOD MEMORY THAT TIME HASN’T STOLEN
IS TREASURED LIKE THE HEAVENS ABOVE
TREASURED IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE

Oh MY DEAR JANE
BEEN THINKIN’ ‘BOUT YOU
HOPIN’ AND PRAYIN’ THAT YOU’RE FEELIN’ BRAND NEW
