Annie
Style: Motown soul

[Verse 1]
You walked in barefoot, laughter loud
Dried off the world in blue
Towels rolled like clouds somehow
Still warm where you withdrew

[Pre-chorus]
The bench still holds the shape of you
The air still sings your name
Before the candles climb anew

[Chorus]
Annie, you turn the grey to gold
Every heartbeat finds its tune
Annie, the whole world’s bright and bold
Just because you’re in the room

[Verse 2]
You laughed at chlorine, soaked in sun
No map, no plan, no fear
Just joy that came when you were done
And stayed right here, right here

[Bridge]
They’ll forget the day, the cake, the cheer
But not how you made light appear

[Chorus]
Annie, you turn the grey to gold
Every heartbeat finds its tune
Annie, the whole world’s bright and bold
Just because you’re in the room

[Outro]
Blue towels dry on wooden grain
Still holding joy you left again
