Dawn Sears - Little Orphan Annie lyrics

rate me

I saw the love

In mama's eyes

I saw the fear she tried to hide

She knew she'd never see the morning sun

She left this world so young

On a windy day

In my Sunday best

I watched them lay my dad to rest

After months of pain I tried to help him through

But there was nothing I could do

(Chorus)

I feel like

Little orphan Annie

Left here all alone

Little orphan Annie

Trying to be strong

Every night I kneel and pray

Lord help me through another day

Help me fill this empty heart

Please don't let me fall apart

Give me the strength to be

Little orphan Annie

I miss them more

Than I can say

It's not supposed to be this way

All grown up I should understand

But the child in me

Can't comprehend

(Repeat Chorus)
