Annie

The moment that they laid you in my arms

I knew my world would never be the same

I promised I would keep you safe from harm

The very second that I spoke your name

It feels like only yesterday we met

That first breath is a thing I won't forget

Oh, Annie, you’re so brave and you’re so strong

You’ve had a caring spirit all along

Watching you grow up has been my favorite view

There’s nothing in this life I wouldn't do

To keep you safe and watch your spirit glow

I love you, my sweet angel, more than you could know

We've shared so many miles upon the road

Just traveling and hanging out, we two

No matter where we went or what we did

My favorite part was always being with you

I look at all the memories we've made

A bond like ours is never gonna fade

Oh, Annie, you’re so brave and you’re so strong

You’ve had a caring spirit all along

Watching you grow up has been my favorite view

There’s nothing in this life I wouldn't do

To keep you safe and watch your spirit glow

I love you, my sweet angel, more than you could know

You face the world with such a gentle grace

But there is iron hiding in your spine

A tender heart that brightens every place

I am so lucky that I call you mine

Oh, Annie, you’re so brave and you’re so strong

You’ve had a caring spirit all along

Watching you grow up has been my favorite view

There’s nothing in this life I wouldn't do

To keep you safe and watch your spirit glow

I love you, my sweet angel, more than you could know
