Annabel lyrics

I watch you sleeping
My weary heart rises up on wings
I hear your laughter
Something deep down inside me sings

Way down here in the land of cotton
You were born on a rainy day
Since then, sweet things long forgotten
They just keep flooding back my way

Oh child, I cannot tell you how the time just flies
But I have had my days of glory under sunny skies
These days, your bright dreams are all I want to see
Sleep tight, annabel
You can always count on me

In this cold world, folks will judge you
Though they don??™t know you at all
And I may not be there to catch you
Anytime that you might fall

But, you got my hard head
And your mother??™s grace
All the likeness of the loved ones right there in your face
And I know in the end you??™ll be who you will be

So sleep tight, annabel
You can always count on me
