Why Raggedy Ann, sometimes I'd almost swear that [A] you're just about as much alive as I am.
When _ I hug you up close to [D] me I can feel every ounce [A] of the warm glow of love that she must have felt.
_ _ _ And you know what Raggedy Ann?
_ _ I'd give anything [E] I own in this world if I knew [A] just half of the memories that have passed through those little black button eyes of yours.
Hid themselves in their tear stained stuff. _ _
[D] Well I bet you're just busting [A] out with little old childhood secrets that could really set a lonely man's heart aglow. _ _ _
Sometimes I still have to like [B] the way you had to sample all of her [E] food and _ see all of her little new dresses and [A] answer a thousand questions. _ _
_ It's really a small wonder that you're on [D] one piece.
_ [A] The way she used to drag you around by one leg everywhere she went.
_ But you didn't seem to mind.
_ Because you always had that big old smile on [E] your face.
_ You know [A] something Raggedy Ann?
_ _ I bet that smile has dried more tears and carried more little hurts than I could ever hope to kiss away. _ _
[D] And I'll tell you something else.
[A] That big smile has given me strength to face some pretty trying times myself.
_ And I want to thank you again Raggedy Ann.
_ For helping me [B] raise her after her mama died.
[E] _ _
Somehow you just stepped right into your mama's [A] shoes and just that much farther into our hearts.
_ _ And in that [D] year of the rain.
_ [A] Remember?
_ One night the fever took my baby.
And you just laid right there beside her while I did everything I could right up to the end.
[E] _ _ And since [A] then it's just been me and you Raggedy Ann. _
Just me and you. _ _ _
But you know the years haven't seemed to bother you too [D] much.
_ _ _ [A] Of course you're a little faded here and there in the wind and the rain. _
_ But that heartwarming charm and that spark of love seems stronger now _ [B] than it ever did.
_ _ [E] _
And look at me.
_ _ I barely [A] made it up the hill today. _ _
Look Raggedy Ann.
_ I can't even [D] rush the dirt from my knees.
_ [A] _
So don't look for me tomorrow. _ _
Oh I won't make it.
_ I'd like to take you with me Raggedy Ann but I know you'd be happier right here.
Watching over [A] my baby and keeping her warm. _ _ _
Well I gotta leave you now. _
I gotta go.
And about the only thing that [D] comes to my mind to say to you is God bless you.
And you sure have been quite a doll Raggedy Ann.
Yes sir.
Quite a doll.
