Annemarie lyrics

I saw your face

I'd knew you'd haunt me

For all... of my life.

Rising above me.

If you could want me, I'd be

No man's wife.

Everyone sees you

Everyone knows you

How can I possibly compare?

Who could attain you, with

All of your pain, who could

Possibly hold one so fair?

Terror, pity, love.

Annemarie.

Brilliant and stormy

Her perfect beauty

She moves through the world. With

Money and family

She glitters with trouble she's that

Kind of girl

Everyone wants you

Everyone loves you

How can I possibly compete?

Who can explain you

With all of your pain, who

Could possibly make you complet

Terror pity love.

Annemarie.

If I could see God

His face would be sacred

Like yours... Annemarie

But God's face is hidden and

Your face is suddenly

All I can see

Everyone worships you

Everyone needs you

How can I possibly complain?

Who will contain you,

With all of your pain, could I

Gather up all that you remain?

Terror pity love.

Annemarie.
