Annabel Lyrics


I watch you sleeping
My weary heart rises up on wings
I hear your laughter
Something, deep down inside me sings
Way down here in the land of cotton
You were born on a rainy day
Since then, sweet things, long forgotten
They just keep flooding back my way
Oh child, I cannot tell you
How the time just flies
But I have had my days of glory
Under sunny skies
But these days, your bright dreams
Are all I want to see
Sleep tight, Annabel
You can always count on me
In this cold world, folks will judge you
Though they don't know you at all

And I may not be there to catch you
Anytime that you might fall
But you got my hard head
And your mother's grace
All the likeness of the loved ones
Right there in your face
And I know in the end
You'll be who you will be
So sleep tight, Annabel
You can always count on me

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don Henley (born Donald Hugh Henley in Gilmer, Texas, USA on 22 July 1947) is drummer, singer, and songwriter with the band Eagles. Since the 80s he has had a successful solo career and has played a founding role in several causes.

In 1970, he moved to Los Angeles to record an album with his early band, Shiloh. Shiloh's album was produced by fellow Texan Kenny Rogers. Shortly thereafter, Henley met Glenn Frey. They both became members of Linda Ronstadt's backup band. Touring with her was the catalyst for forming the group. As a result, two months later they, along with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner, became their own act, Eagles.

Henley's music is often social commentary. One of his more famous songs is "Dirty Laundry" (from his I Can't Stand Still album, released in 1982). Its origins date back to 1980, when Henley was put on probation for possession of a narcotic and fined for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The ensuing media circus and on-air pundits claiming that his career was over led to the writing of the song, which continues to be an indictment against the broadcast news media. Similarly, "Johhny Can't Read" (also from the Can't Stand Still album), continues to resound as a commentary on the educational system.
