Story Behind The Song

I'll admit, this song almost didn't get recorded. I thought the lyrics were really hokey, and I didn't think they made sense. But Bob insisted on recording it, and I loved the result!

Lyrics

ANNE MARIE
Words and music by Ray Kim

1: Oh Anne Marie, will you remember me after I'm gone...?
Always shooting for the sky,
Never thought we'd ever say good-bye
Look at me, so suddenly, I've got to leave you...

Hey, talk to me, you can confide in me when you are down...
Many hours spent on the phone,
Let you know you'll never be alone...
Hold me now, I'll never let you go...

Chorus: Anne Marie, it seems so long ago that you came into my life...
Anne Marie, your tender words of promise help get me through the night...
Need to know that you will wait for me faithfully,
Anne Marie...

2: The time gone by will be there in my mind forevermore...
Nights we spent, thoughts gone astray,
Marking time not knowing what to say...
Time to show what we both know, we've got each other...

Now if I may, there's something I must say before I go...
Wish I had more time with you,
And there's nothing you can say or do
That will ease the pain of missing you...

Chorus: Anne Marie, you're always on my mind when I am so far away...
Anne Marie, I need to let you know, I can't wait another day...
Did you know that you are who I need desperately,
Anne Marie?

Bridge: All that I want is to get to know you better, can't you see...?
All I need is to touch you girl tenderly, don't you see...?

So don't you cry, I'll be there by your side when times are low...
Always will be flying high...
Can't you see? The truth is in my eyes...
Hold me now, I'll never say good-bye...

Chorus: Anne Marie, I care so much about you, that's more than others do...
Anne Marie, I've told you how I feel, now it all comes down to you...
Let me know that you will think of me, promise me...?
Anne Marie...
