the sun rose in a sea of gold 

on the morn when you sailed to me

and it burned the shackles on the wait to hold

oh, my Anna Lee

 

I heard bells, Heaven’s bells for thee

 

there was anguish and love, and I with the flood

sank down on my knees

keep this space, my life, for nothing but

oh, my Anna Lee

 

I felt wisdom crashing into me

 

bring me beauty and color and song

oh, my Anna Lee

teach me kindness and courage and faith so strong

oh, my Anna Lee

 

I saw angels falling over me

 

there’s a sea behind your eyes and your touch and I’m told

oh, that you’ll fly from me

but I know you’re from the beacon for my soul

and you’ll stay my Anna Lee
