lyrics

I remember then when you held my hand that snowy night we met
It felt cold and small and wanted warmth; I had resolved to pleasure it
But the spell it cast took hold with its grasp and made my body believe
That it don’t have a heart for nothing and it’s not there to make me grieve

Do you know what I’m sayin’?
I’ll say it plain…

Come on and marry me Anne
It’s all a part of my plan
Oh to please ya, Anna-Lisa, it makes me a man
Let our sadness rescind
This is where we begin again little Anne

Will you kiss me kiss me kiss me like a sunbeam cross my face?
Would you miss me miss me miss me if I’m half a world away?
I hear the ringing ringing ringing of those bells that call our name
And the voices of our family urging us to celebrate

Now’s no time to wait, but
No worries we’re not late

Come on and marry me Anne
I want that wife and kid and rock and roll band
You can help me out with the first two items
Let our sadness rescind
This is where we begin again little Anne

You put your heart in my chest and placed your head where I rest…we’re not just sharing a bathroom
My single life moribund yet I’m having much more fun, this must be living for real
If you confide you’re a little bit scared thinking that we’re ill prepared to start a family
I’ll calm your nerves little one with a drink and smile for fun
I won’t keep you dangling on a string

Come on and marry me Anne
It’s all a part of God’s plan
Oh to need ya, Anna-Lisa, it makes me human
Let our sadness rescind
This is where we begin again little Anne
