Name On A Stone (Anna) • mp3
Words and Music by Joe LaMay
There’s a name on a grave in the old church yard
Written so coldly in stone
It’s a name that still brings warmth to my heart
Though Heaven has called Anna home
Oh Heaven please take care of Anna
She’s the sweetest that I’ve ever known
You have taken her home to your Heavenly shore
And all you’ve left us is a name on a stone
We were gathered about as they lowered her down
Down to the cold, cold clay
I said my goodbye - kissed the name on the stone
And took one red rose from her grave
Chorus
There’s a nail on a wall in the old family home
Where Anna would hang her church clothes
But since she’s been dead what’s hung there instead
Is her picture and one faded rose
Chorus
