Annie - 谭咏麟

Sometimes I like awake and wander in a dream

And wonder how my life with her

Could have been

She was just an open book

With travel on her mind

I promised her a life she didn't know

If she would go

We ran away from memories of pain

Danced across the world

Hoping for a love that never came

So let's turn around and see

That the future is in you and me

It's all in our minds

As long as we find the time

And we'll throw away the past

For a feeling that we hope will last

I thought we could try

How could I believe in a bigger lie

Annie did you have to run away

Did you believe that there was nothing left to say

You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free

Turned every moment to a sea of gray

I'm living in a world of yesterday

'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away

From all the tragedy I see staring back at me

Whenever love begins to look my way

And so I go on wasting summer in the cold

While all about me April leaves are growing old

I sat amid an empty room

Awash in fantasy

With visions of an angel

Moving slowly out to sea

I called across the waves but she was gone

Soaring on the wind

Clinging to a dream to meet the dawn

So it's time to rearrange

And get used to what I haven't got

As long as I know

It's better to love than not

I may find it all again

And get caught up in a new surprise

The future is here

Then I fall apart as I realize

Annie did you have to run away

Did you believe that there was nothing left to say

You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free

Turned every moment to a sea of gray

I'm living in a world of yesterday

'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away

From all the tragedy I see staring back at me

Whenever love begins to look my way

Annie did you have to run away

Did you believe that there was nothing left to say

You made a prisoner of me and then you set me free

Turned every moment to a sea of gray

I'm living in a world of yesterday

'Cause there's a part of me that needs to hide away

From all the tragedy I see staring back at me

Whenever love begins to look my way

Another chapter ends and autumn reappears

As glistening wishes fade away through the years

And darling if you fall in love another day

Don't give the best of you away
