Here to Eternity |
On a hot summer’s night |
In the year of '75 |
Jimmy Doyle took his child bride |
Amanda, for a drive |
She was only 17 |
He just lived to see her smile |
Their commitment to each other |
Burned like a forest fire |
Otis on the radio singing «Stand By Me» |
As a trooper pulled them over |
And said Jimmy where you been |
Someone matching your description |
Has just robbed the liquor store |
Amanda said, «He's been with me» |
But they weren’t listening anymore |
Down at Precinct Number Five |
They questioned Jimmy through the night |
The sheriff said, «He's gotta stand trial» |
Armed robbery is the charge |
Amanda said «This cannot be» |
Gonna stay right here until you set him free |
And I love him |
Here to eternity |
Forever |
Unto eternity |
Oh God, gave me something |
I must hold on to |
Gonna hold on him |
No matter what you do |
The old courthouse was crowded |
As the judge reviewed the case |
In a year of re-election |
He was desperate to impress |
Innocent or guilty |
He saw an opportunity |
To send Jimmy down for life |
To the Penitentiary |
Disbelief and anger |
As they dragged him away |
In a cell below the courthouse |
They beat him like a slave |
But his use of martial arts |
Struck a blow for liberty |
Felled a guard with a fist of iron |
And killed him instantly |
All the press surrounded Amanda |
Coming down the courthouse steps |
Pleading for her young man’s life |
And in a moment seen by millions |
She bowed her head and cried |
Show my man some mercy |
He’s the father of my child |
I love him |
Here to eternity |
Forever |
Unto eternity |
Oh God gave me something |
I must hold on to |
Gonna hold on him |
No matter what you do |
I love him |
Here to eternity |
Jimmy Doyle appeared again |
In a second public trail |
For the murder of a prison guard |
They sentenced him to die |
But Amanda with her long red hair |
Made one last plea |
As the court fell into silence |
She cried out desperately |
This man of mine is innocent |
As one day I shall prove |
It’s an open case of self-defense |
All this circumstantial evidence |
You place before your court |
Has robbed me of my husband |
Forget I will not |
I love him |
Here to eternity |
Forever |
Unto eternity |
Oh goodbye my Jimmy |
'Til we meet again |
In a better world than this |
I swear I’ll clear your name |
'Cause I love you |
Here to eternity |
