Anne's Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be honest
I'm all right with me
Sunday mornings
In my own bedsheets

I've been waking up alone
I haven't thought of her for days
I'll be honest
It's better off this way

But every time I think that I can get you out my head
You never, ever let me forget
'Cause

Just when I think you're gone
Hear our song on the radio
Just like that, takes me back
To the places we used to go
And I've been trying but I just can't fight it
When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling
I remember you're gone
Baby, it's just a song on the radio
That we used to know

I'll be honest
I'm all right with me
Sunday mornings
In my own white tee

I've been waking up alone
I haven't thought of him for days
I'll be honest
It's better off this way

Every time I think that I can get you out my head
You never, ever let me forget
'Cause

Just when I think you're gone
Hear our song on the radio
Just like that, takes me back
To the places we used to go
And I've been trying but I just can't fight it
When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling
I remember you're gone
Baby, it's just a song on the radio
That we used to know

Just when I think you're gone
Hear our song on the radio
Just like that, takes me back
To the places we used to go

And I've been trying but I just can't fight it
When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling
I remember you're gone
Baby, it's just a song on the radio
And I've been trying but I just can't fight it
When I hear it, I just can't stop smiling
I remember you're gone




Baby, it's just a song on the radio
That we used to know

It's those little, yet profound memories that they cherish, laying in the folds of their hearts are often their driving force to live. Everyone of us have these kinda memories..

I feel overwhelmed whenever I get these memories revoked by songs like these..
Love is Precious, Which is Why it's hard to find..
When One feels it's about time to leave this love in a relationship,
It often leaves you heartbroken 💔.. Yet,We don't have to mourn or lament over the lost love, but relish in nursing that pain..
Make it the driving force of your life..

I think that will change the perspective we look at world.. It makes us more empathetic eventually.. Makes us treat others with love n kindness..

Donno why I felt like sharing this little of stuf that's running across my mind.. Sorry for my rant.. Ok, now bye 👋

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

I’m 46 now. One of my oldest and most enduring and dearest memories is of my dad and I laying on the floor belly down listening to the Back Home Again record. The Vinyl… it was the very first gate gold album I ever saw and thought the embossed letters were really neat.

My daddy instilled an appreciation for good music in me. John Denver, The Kingston Trio, Bud and Travis, Joe and Eddie, and any flamenco with Carlos Montoya.

Back home again had a song “Matthew” that always made me feel really uneasy. Sad. My name is Matthew and I guess I was just scared of tornadoes and the thought of losing my entire family. Heavy tune for a 4 year old kid, right?

Daddy died on Memorial Day 2011 with “Fly Away” playing in the background. John Denver and Olivia Newton John. I swear to God… In my life, I have been hit by a semi, been impaled through the chest with rebar when I was 3, been in multiple roof collapses (firefighter), been envenomated 9 times by indigenous pit vipers (I was NOT cut out for venomous work), been in anaphylactic shock twice, broken bones, ruptured tendons… even survived Cancer and now Lyme Disease.

NONE OF THAT STOPPED ME. But the Lord God as my witness, “Fly Away” is my Kryptonite. The first two bars from that song breaks me. I can listen to most of Annie’s Song without my eyeballs leaking.

Most.

Miss you daddy. I love you ol boy.

In 1974 I was 17 years old. There was this little 14 year old red haired girl at my Church. I asked her one day what her favorite song was. She said, "Annie's Song." Years later, at our wedding dance, I asked the band to play it for her. After many years of filling up my senses, she was taken to Heaven in August 2011. I miss you, Diane, and I will be with you whenever the Lord calls me home.
