Annabel — Don Henley

I watch you sleeping My weary heart rises up on wings I hear your laughter Something deep down inside me sings

Way down here in the land of cotton You were born on a rainy day Since then, sweet things long forgotten They just keep flooding back my way

Oh child, I cannot tell you how the time just flies But I have had my days of glory under sunny skies These days, your bright dreams are all I want to see Sleep tight, Annabel You can always count on me

In this cold world, folks will judge you Though they don't know you at all And I may not be there to catch you Anytime that you might fall

But, you got my hard head And your mother's grace All the likeness of the loved ones right there in your face And I know in the end you'll be who you will be

So sleep tight, Annabel You can always count on me
