VERSE 2:
I had a daughter called her Annabelle 
She's the apple of my eye
Tried to give her something like I never had
Didn't want to ever hear her cry

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears
>From every day I've ever known
Anna's in the churchyard she got no life at all
She only got these words on a stone

(CHORUS)
