From the recording Voices I Wrote For
Lyrics
Annie’s Song
Verse 1
I had so many more wine glasses to clink,
Stories to tell you over a drink.
You, the queen of every room you owned,
An elegant host, a heart like home.
Chorus
Oh Annie, you’re still with me now,
In the laughter, in the love, in the here and the now.
Oh Annie, your fire lives on,
In the children you raised, in the hearts you shone upon.
Verse 2
You dazzled the day we first met,
A sparkle I never could forget.
Out of the billions, you stood apart,
Beautiful, caring, with a wild, true spark.
Chorus
Oh Annie, you’re still with me now,
In the laughter, in the love, in the here and the now.
Oh Annie, your fire lives on,
In the children you raised, in the hearts you shone upon.
Bridge
When I see her smile, I see your eyes,
Cheeky, tenacious, a spirit that flies.
And in his soul, so gentle, so true,
I’ll remind them both they got that from you.
Final Chorus
Oh Annie, you’re still with me now,
In the laughter, in the love, in the here and the now.
Oh Annie, your fire lives on,
In the brightest star, in every dawn.
Oh Annie… this will always be your song.
