Annie

Intro

Piano, gentle acoustic guitar

Verse 1

I remember when you'd wait with open ears

For Daddy's voice to chase away all fears

"Momma's Home!" he'd call, and up your head would rise

A loyal Labrador, with love in your soft eyes

They said I rescued you from a lonely place

But it was your sweet spirit, full of gentle grace

You looked into my heart and filled it with a light

My precious Annie, making everything feel right

Chorus

Oh, Annie, nine years flew like morning's gentle breath

A love so pure, beyond the reach of death

My cuddle bug, my shadow, always by my side

In every memory, your loving spirit will abide

Verse 2

The mornings and the endings, held a special charm

When I would whisper "Go get... night night" safe from harm

You'd trot to fetch your comforts, a happy, quiet quest

Then curl up close beside me, to finally find your rest

Each playful quirk, each tender, loving glance

A precious moment held, a silent, sweet romance

You taught me patience, joy, and unconditional care

A bond between us, beautiful and rare

Chorus

Oh, Annie, nine years flew like morning's gentle breath

A love so pure, beyond the reach of death

My cuddle bug, my shadow, always by my side

In every memory, your loving spirit will abide

Bridge

Go run free, you are no longer in pain, my cuddle bug, so small

I will always love you and catch you if you fall

I'll see you again one day, across the sunlit plain

Until then, peace be with you, release every last chain

Instrumental

Piano, gentle strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Annie, nine years flew like morning's gentle breath

A love so pure, beyond the reach of death

My cuddle bug, my shadow, always by my side

In every memory, your loving spirit will abide

Outro

Now you're running free, across the golden ground

Trying to make your brothers, Boomer, Charlie, settle down

A peaceful dream, forever young, with not a single fear

My dearest Annie, always, always near
