LOTD

Since "The Rainbow Connection" was so good (and I'm still listening to it), I decided to continue on the line of nostalgia songs. I couldn't find the original video for this one, but I found an updated version (if anyone has the original, let me know.) This is from the first movie I remember seeing in the theater (note the "remember" - my dad took me to see a few long before that).

Annie
Maybe

Maybe far away
Or maybe real nearby
He may be pouring her coffee
She may be straighting this tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill
She's sitting playing piano,
He's sitting paying a bill!

Betcha they're young
Betcha they're smart
Bet they collect things
Like ashtrays, and art!
Betcha they're good --
(Why shouldn't they be?)
Their one mistake
Was giving up me!

So maybe now it's time,
And maybe when I wake
They'll be there calling me "Baby"...
Maybe.

Betcha he reads
Betcha she sews
Maybe she's made me
A closet of clothes!
Maybe they're strict
As straight as a line...
Don't really care
As long as they're mine!

So maybe now this prayer's
The last one of it's kind...
Won't you please come get your "Baby"
