Annas Blues Lyrics

Yeah

Yeah

See, her name was Anna

Except for pics I never knew much

A sensitive spot

Nobody wanted to touch

She wasn't spoken of much

Only on occasion

And I've been here on stand by

And I'm still waitin

Life's barely getting started and you're already gone

Baby sis is in pampers and I'm only one

My whole life I done missed ya

I don't even own one picture

But I know I see your face

When I'm looking at my sister

Heard you was intelligent

Somewhat mild-temperament

A great sense of humor

And Gifted on an instrument

Your birthday's on the 3rd day of a New Year

Your eyes brown and wide and it's obvious they're

A gift to Lil sis and it's beautifully clear

She's got the same sense of humor

I pray it'll always be there

And me, I inherited your deep tone your melanin

Played Piano by ear

Now I'm artistically creative

And this is DNA you passed onto me

Your grandchildren

And even great-grandbabies

If you were only here

If only God had saw different

Then you would be around

To see your bloodline

Your lineage

I Find myself wondering whatcha would've become

A classical musician

Or a stay home mom

Either way, it's ok mom whichever the one

Would've still been all love

If none of the above

Yeah

Either way, it's ok mom whichever the one

Would have still have been all love

If none of the above

Yeah

Anna's Blues

Dedicated to my mother, Anna Jean Evans

Who God allowed to grace this world with her presence for 16 years

See, I call this piece Anna's Blues

Because I spent nearly half of my life mourning my mother

How could I mourn someone

I couldn't have possibly known

Right

I was only 1 year old

A toddler

Well, nevertheless that didn't negate

That her absence from my life

Was so deeply felt

Until God spoke to me on one Mother's Day

Saying

I was so focused on what I didn't have

That I was missing out on what I do have

My children

See, they were unable to truly celebrate me on Mother's Day

Because I had the blues

I was mourning my mother every single Mother's Day

And So

Me mourning my mother's absence

Ended that day

Yeah

Her name was Anna
