Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Symphony of silver tears
Sing to me and sooth the ring in my ears
Overcast these gloomy nights wear on
But I'm holding fast because it's darkest just before the dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
I sang my princess fast asleep
Because she was my dream come true
Oh Anne Marie, believe me, I loved you
But now those lonely lullabies
Just dampen my tired eyes
Because I can't forget you
Because I can't forget you
[Chorus]
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream
[Verse 2]
Dizzy love turned a star lily pink
And hung above our lids too flushed to blink
But icy blue froze the fairytale cold
Though I treasured you and you sparkled with someone to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
I sang my princess fast asleep
'Cause she was my dream come true
Oh Anne Marie, believe me, I loved you
But now those lonely lullabies
Just dampen my tired eyes
Because I can't forget you
Because I can't forget you
[Chorus]
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream
I'll dissolve when the rain pours in
When the nightmares take me
I will scream with the howling wind
'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream
And I'd rather dream
[Outro]
Anne Marie, I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you
Anne Marie, remember me?
I'll never forget you
