Vanessa Carlton - Annie

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
