Annemarie

Annemarie
You are so beautiful, Annemarie

I don’t know much
But I can guess
Since we’re alike
In numerous ways
And seeing that
We are similar
I can say how it is
In my way, my way, my way

You seemed to have a rather healthy childhood
Even though you may have caused some problems
You seem to be doing fine at the moment
With nothing that seems to be holding you back
You’ve proven that you’re strong and can’t be put down
Though I know that you have vulnerable moments
Regardless of all of that, I strive to be
Even more like you because you seem perfect

Annemarie
You are so beautiful, Annemarie
Annemarie
You are so honest, Annemarie

You’ve done an excellent job raising your child
Still working hard as if you were a teenager
Looking younger, to me no older than twenty-four
And I’m sure by next year, you’ll look twenty-one
You tell it like it is even if it may hurt
And I know that I can easily depend on you
I sometimes wished that you were my momma
For I feel that I will always be loved by you

Annemarie
You are sweet to me, Annemarie
Annemarie
I wish you happiness, Annemarie

Keep your head up high and never set it down, Annemarie
Keep doing what you do. Don’t stop
Keep your head up high and never set it down, Annemarie
Keep doing what you do. Don’t stop

Annemarie
You are so beautiful, Annemarie
Sunday and Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and 
Saturday, Everyday
Annemarie
I wish you happiness, Annemarie
Financially and Emotionally and Socially and Physically and Mentally and just 
keep on smiling

Keep your head up high and never ever set it down, Annemarie
Keep doing what you do. Don’t stop
Make sure your head is kept high, higher than the sky, Annemarie
Just do what you do and don’t change
Keep your head up high and never ever set it down, Annemarie
Keep doing what you do. Don’t stop
Make sure your head is kept high, higher than the sky, Annemarie
Just do what you do and don’t change
