Lyrics
ANNA
On a sunny day you sit and watch
With hopeful eyes the children play
But it always came, it shook your faith
You wondered if you were to blame
Your husband hurt for you, Anna he hurt
Helpless he felt when you would cry
He couldn?t take the place, oh how he tried
But still you yearned for that new born child
But Anna oh God loves you more than you?ll know
But you?re standing in the rain, the California rain
Anna, there?s such a lot of joy
And you can have it all for free
Anna, you may never have a boy
But there?s something that I wish you would see
Sometimes I know it seems the thing that means
The most to us is out of reach
So we blame ourselves, question God?s love
But still he knows just what you need
Anna oh God loves you more than you?ll know
But you?re standing in the rain, the California rain
