Gentle Annie - Tommy Makem

Fair and lovely Annie

Your gentle ways have won me

You bring peace and joy and laughter everywhere

Where you go the sunshine follows

You’re a breath of spring in winter

And my heart and soul are always in your care

Gentle Annie, gentle Annie

And my heart and soul

Are always in your care

When you touch me with your fingers

My cares and worries vanish

Like the morning dew before the rising sun

When your eyes tell me you love me

Then my soul is filled with wonder

And my love for you will live when life is done

Gentle Annie, gentle Annie

And my love for you

Will live when life is done

You’re the flower among the flowers

You’re the birdsong in the morning

You’re the laughter of the children at their play

You’re my hope and joy and wisdom

You’re my reason just for living

You’re my treasure

You’re my very night and day

Gentle Annie, gentle Annie

You’re my treasure

You’re my very night and day

When the mountains all come tumbling

And the earth has stopped its turning

When the winds don’t blow and stars refuse to shine

When the moon has left the heavens

And the seven seas are empty

I will still have gentle Annie on my mind

Gentle Annie, gentle Annie

I will still have gentle Annie on my mind
