Ann a-sleepin' on my bed
Hair a-tumblin' round your head
You will always be a part of me
When I look in your eyes
It's my reflection I see

Ann, I wonder how you knew
I needed someone just like you
Were you on a beam of guiding light
That came in my life
Late that September night

And though I try to hold back the years
I cannot hold the dawn
And so I try to hold back the tears
When love has grown up and gone

Ann, I'll love you till I die
And when you hear this lullaby
I'll be with you, though we're far apart
And you'll be with me
Right here inside my heart
