ANOTHER DAY
IS AT HAND
MAMA SAYS
SHE'S TIRED AGAIN
NO ONE CAN EVEN
BEGIN TO TELL HER
I HARDLY KNOW
WHAT TO SAY
BUT MAYBE IT'S
BETTER THAT WAY
IF PAPA WERE HERE
I'M SURE HE'D TELL HER
SHANNON IS GONE
I HEARD SHE'S DRIFTING
OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED
TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL
FIND AN ISLAND
WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE
IN OUR BACKYARD
MAMA TRIES HARD
TO PRETEND
THINGS WILL GET
BETTER AGAIN
SOMEHOW
SHE'S KEEPIN' IT ALL
INSIDE HER
BUT FINALLY THE TEARS
FILL OUR EYES
AND I KNOW THAT
SOMEWHERE TONIGHT
SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH
WE REALLY MISS HER
SHANNON IS GONE
I HEARD SHE'S DRIFTING
OUT TO SEA
SHE ALWAYS LOVED
TO SWIM AWAY
MAYBE SHE'LL
FIND AN ISLAND
WITH A SHADY TREE
JUST LIKE THE ONE
IN OUR BACKYARD
JUST LIKE THE ONE
IN OUR BACKYARD
OOH
LA DI DA DI DA DI DA
OH OH OH
OOH
