Anna dear, they say tomorrow you'll be leavin'
If only you had been the one to tell me so
I could try, at last, to understand the reason
But the one who cares the most is always the last to know

Anna dear, the road from town is cold and lonely
If you leavebehind the one whose faith you know
Many years will pass before you find tomorrow
Why can't you believe the one who never let it show

As I stand and watch you leave I wonder
Anna didn't find enough to show you that I care
Could you feel the same again I ask forgiveness
But the one who cares the most is always the last to know
But the one who cares the most is always the last to know
