Vanessa Carlton - Annie lyrics

Watch her as she flew, deep within the blue

A day out from the country I.C.U

There's nothing you dan do, someone gently says to you

The doctor says that now it won't be long

I try and live up to the moment,

And I hope that I don't blow it

But what is it in me that she hears?

There is just a song she likes, her little arms around my neck

And a dying girl whispers in my ear

Tell me now can you feel it

I've been keeping company with a ghost

She comes to me like a piece of summer

She comes to me on the days when I needed it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever,

And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears

Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together

I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years

For you and I... Oh Annie

More to life than trying to survive... Oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you

I travel alone and the loneliness brings me to tears

Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together

I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years

For You And I... Oh Annie

More To life than trying to survive... Oh Annie

Stronger than the hands that hold you

You sing along to the sound on the radio

If I drank too much and I am wreckless

Just this once could you forgive this

I hold on to days gone by

Tell me now can you feel it,

I can't keep this all to myself

She's elegant and she means it

Years for you and I... Oh Annie

More to life than trying to survive... Oh Annie

Watch her as she flew, deep within the blue

Watch her as she slips away from you

I'll keep fingers crossed always for you
