singer, songwriter, rock 'n' roller
The guitars and drums and amplifiers
The cables, mikes, and stands
Load 'em up and haul 'em all 'cross town
Piled in somebody's van
Where the party lights are shining bright
Playin' til the cops are called
In the blaze of a song by the makeshift stage
There Anna sits enthralled
What could ever be more beautiful
In the heavens up above
What could ever be more glorious
Than Anna in the glow of love
All the dark and drafty houses then
In the streets of college town
She was at my side she was in my arms
And we were glory bound
What could ever be more beautiful
In the heavens up above
What could ever be more glorious
Than Anna in the glow of love
What could be more radiant
Profound and candle bright
Dancing in the drunken rooms
On some Friday night
Now some girls fall so easily
Some girls pick and choose
Some girls want to go through men
Like they go through shoes
And she shone like gold in a room so cold
But that was way back when
And we don't grow up but we raise a cup
To all our absent friends
What could ever be more beautiful
In the heavens up above
What could ever be more glorious
Than Anna in the glow of love
