All the likeness of the loved ones
Are all I want to see
But you got my hard head
Since then, sweet things, long forgotten
In this cold world, folks will judge you
You'll be who you will be
Though they don't know you at all
You can always count on me
But I have had my days of glory
Right there in your face
How the time just flies
You were born on a rainy day
And I may not be there to catch you
Sleep tight, Annabel
Way down here in the land of cotton
But these days, your bright dreams
And your mother's grace
I hear your laughter
Under sunny skies
Anytime that you might fall
They just keep flooding back my way
And I know in the end
So sleep tight, Annabel
Something, deep down inside me sings
Oh child, I cannot tell you
