Anna Marie Songtext
von Bob Snider

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

We met across a crowded table somewhere
I couldn′t say a word there
I tried so hard not to stare
I thought I saw you maybe give me the eye
I wondered who was the guy sitting beside you

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

I asked a friend of mine if you were alone
She said she didn't know
But she thought so
She gave me your number and I gave you a call
But all I got back was your answer machine

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

We met a few days later out in the street
You seemed happy to meet
We went and had something to eat
We talked a bit about the things that we like
You told me horses and your new mountain bike

Anna Marie, Anna Marie


A band of street musicians started to play
The air came alive
In the outdoor cafe
The waitress smiled as she balanced her tray
And did a little dance all the way down the aisle

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

For the rest of the day we wandered the town
Where the bag lady lies, where the bus turns around
Where the car radios with the windows rolled down
Played a Beatles song that makes me think of you

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

Well, the money comes in but it′s so hard to hold
If you got it, you're hot, if you haven't, you′re cold
The Royal Tower may be made out of gold
But all I see in it is Anna Marie

Anna Marie, Anna Marie

Well, you may be now, I have no way to know
You don′t say anything, you just pick up and go
There's an ache in your heart, babe, and it′s hurting you so
But I know you're the first to laugh about it all

Anna Marie, Anna Marie
Anna Marie, Anna Marie
