Little Orphan Annie Lyrics

Dawn Sears Little Orphan Annie

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)
