BEAUTIFUL ANNABELL LEE
(Alfred Bryan, Artie Mehlinger / George W. Meyer,   1920)


Many years ago down beside the sea 
All the love I know fill'd this heart o' me 
She was all the world to me and all the heaven too 
In the days that used to be when only skies were blue

Came a breeze one night from the winter skies 
And my rose of white 
Closed her starry eyes 
Every night I look for her along the lonely shore 
But the night wind like the raven answers "never more"

Beautiful Annabell Lee left me alone by the sea 
She was like a tender flower that blooms in May 
But the angels came and took her away one day 
Beautiful Annabell Lee gone for eternity now the robins sing to me 
Oh how I wish they'd bring to me my beautiful Annabell Lee
