Ballad of Sweet Annabelle

There's a sweet little girl
 Just born to this world
 As pure as the cold mountain snow
 With her silky brown hair
 And her warm-hearted stare
 She's covered with love head to toe
 She came here with love and affection
 She came with pure innocence as well
 She came to unfold the story untold
 Of sweet little Annabelle
 Annabelle, Annabelle,
 She's a smile for the soul all can tell
 The stars they give light
 But don't shine as bright
 As sweet little Annabelle
 Your Momma loves you so dearly
 She thinks of you night and day
 She sings you sweet songs
 Of goodness and love
 And takes all your troubles away
 Your papa holds you so tightly
 Like a pearl from the depths of the sea
 No matter how many a sun will set
 down His little girl you always will be
 Annabelle, Annabelle,
 She's a smile for the soul all can tell
 The stars they give light
 But don't shine as bright
 As sweet little Annabelle
 Annabelle
 Annabelle
 Annabelle
 Annabelle
 Dear Lord watch over this darlin'
 Guide and her and keep her I pray
 Regard her with all
 Of Your blessings and love
 An angel forever to stay
 Annabelle, Annabelle,
 She's a smile for the soul all can tell
 The stars they give light
 But don't shine as bright
 As sweet little Annabelle
 Annabelle, Annabelle
 She's as sweet as a plum, Annabelle
 She's a treasure of love
 A gift from above
 She's sweet little Annabelle
