Drifting by night, into a dream I saw her standing there – Beside the sea Under a moon Gold stardust in her hair

The day did dawn, as I arose Reflecting on her spell Deep down inside I wish for her – the lovely Annabel

It’s what she has Inside her heart That makes mine skip a beat
Her good nature And precious soul Accentuate the sweet
She’s the one who warms my heart And the light by which I see What it means to be alive Here and now, and yet to be

To make it four and evermore Two happy hearts, to underscore
I pen these words With hope she’ll read This message of the heart
That if someday We ever meet In love, we’ll never part
