Jesse come home, there's a hole in the bed
Where we slept; now it's growing cold.
Jesse your face, in the place where we lay
by the hearth, all apart, it hangs on my heart

And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared; I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.

Jesse the stairs in the halls, recalling
Your steps; and I remember too.
All the pictures are shaded and fading in grey
And I still set a place on the table at noon

And I'm leaving the light on the stairs
No I'm not scared; I wait for you
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home.

Jesse the spread on the bed,
It's like when you left, I kept it for you.
All the blues and the greens have been recently cleaned
And are seemingly new; hey Jess, me and you.

We'll swallow the light on the stairs
I'll fix up my hair, we'll sleep unawares
Hey Jesse, it's lonely, come home

@77sunsetable Since Janis Ian wrote the song, how does your story tie in to Roberta Flack? I'm confused!

God what a GORGEOUS song! I Still cry when I hear it after all these years. ANd Miss Flack has one of THE best singing voices in the business...none of today's "entertainers will EVER come close to being of her stature!

This woman is a gift from God. Her voice is so smooth and clear. This is what was called talent when I was growing up. We don't encourage this kind of talent anymore and so it's hard to find. Thank you Roberta, for making my young life beautiful.

My wife survived two bouts of cancer, but succumbed to heart problems three years ago, leaving me to raise our son, now 8, by myself. I completely understand what you feel when listening to this incredible song. For me, it was Cindy Birdsong, my favorite Supreme, singing "In This Very Room", which I stumbled across a couple of weeks later. Cried my eyes out each time...but it really helped.

It's June 2012....it was almost 35 years ago that I heard this song for the first time!... Lot has happened in my life since then..divorce, loss of affection from children and others.... It made me cry and feel good at the same time. I like this as well as the Janis Ian version which I saw live. They are both good but Ms. Flack's version literally "tugs" where you can't hold your tears back anymore! Thank you for posting this.

Jessie was on his way home when his plane crashed off the waters of Masbate 5 days ago. this song is fitting tribute to a great man, an icon of good governance, loving father and husband. In behalf of all Filipinos who believe there is still a chance for a better Philippines, Vaya con Dios Jessie Manalastas Robredo.

mrcell61 May God keep you in his hands. Sometimes we can renew ourselves through music. If this song brings you close to wife then it has done what it was meant to do. As long as we have memories then nobody can truly be said to have left us. Memories are what protects us from the harshness of life. All that someone really wants to know when they die is that they have been truly loved,that is the sweet & simple secret of life.

So somebody says this song was written by Janis Ian about being in love with Jesse Colin Young?? Really? Janis is a Lesbian. of course, she was very young when she hit her fame so maybe she was in love with him. I dunno. I always read the song as being addressed to somebody who had died and not merely left via breaking up.

This song has always been moving to me since I first heard it as a teen. I lost my wife to cancer 1 year ago.It means so much more to me now. I cannot listen to this without crying. Ms. Roberta Flack has one of the most beautiful voices of her generation.

She can break your heart and put a smile on your face with the same song. The emotions in her voice are so strong. Who in their lives hasn’t felt the pain of lost or unrequited love. It makes you stronger or you succumb, but you are never the same. As always, you have touched me with your beautiful voice.

@mrcell61 ME too seriously I hate cancer and every person who make $ denying a dying person any drug that might cure them...And mostly the big pharmica that insists on doing clinical trials by needlessly mixing possable cures with their beloved ,money making chemo. Lost my dear wife almost a year ago too..Me and my departed wife loved this song criet to it in 1978-9 ....

On this day in 1973 {September 22nd} Roberta Flack's "Jesse" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #30 and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100... It was surrounded by #1 records; Ms. Flack's two previous charted records both reached #1, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" {#1 for 6 weeks} and "Killing Me Softly With His Words" {#1 for 5 weeks}... And then her next release after "Jesse" was "Feel Like Makin' Love", which was #1 for one week...
