ANNIE TOLD US STORIES, THEY WERE MIRACLES SHE SWORE
THINKING OF HER TAKES ME BACK TO CHILDHOOD DAYS ONCE MORE
TO PASS THE TIME OF SUMMER DAYS, WE'D SPEND THE HOURS THERE
ANNIE WAS A LADY WE'D VISIT ON A DARE

WE LIKED HER MADE UP STORIES, SOME OF THEM BIZARRE
AND WE SAT IN PERFECT SILENCE AS SHE PLAYED THAT OLD GUITAR
SHE SANG ABOUT HER ONLY LOVE, A SAILOR GONE AWAY
I WAS JUST A CHILD OF TEN, BUT I REMEMBER HER TODAY

CHORUS
WOULD YOU SING A SONG, ANNIE, WOULD YOU JUST FOR ME?
JUST ONE MORE TIME, THE SONG ABOUT THE SEA
THE ONE ABOUT THE SAILOR, A FINE AND HANDSOME MAN
AND IF IT FILLS YOUR EYES WITH TEARS, ...WE'LL UNDERSTAND

BRIDGE
SHE HAD A GUITAR AND MEM'RIES, AND REALLY NOT MUCH MORE
BUT ENOUGH TO KEEP HER WARM IN A LONG WINTER STORM

WOULD YOU SING A SONG, ANNIE, WOULD YOU JUST FOR ME?
JUST ONE MORE TIME, THE SONG ABOUT THE SEA
THE ONE ABOUT THE SAILOR, A FINE AND HANDSOME MAN
IF IT FILLS YOUR EYES WITH TEARS, ...WE'LL UNDERSTAND
...OH, WE'LL UNDERSTAND

STRUMMING HER GUITAR, SWEET AND LOW
THIS IS ANNIE'S SONG OF HOPE

"COME REST HERE IN MY ARMS ONCE MORE
WITH RAINDROPS FALLING DOWN OUTSIDE OUR DOOR
TAKE ME TO THAT PLACE FOREVERMORE
WITH RAINDROPS FALLING DOWN OUTSIDE OUR DOOR"

I HEAR HER SONG AND CHILDHOOD DAYS COME BACK TO ME ONCE MORE
OO-OO-OO
