  *++Lyrics:|\\
Time will roll the clouds away Annie,\\
And the sun will shine again,\\
Tho' life it may not all be sunshine\\
Neither will it all be rain.\\
Yes just before the day 'tis darkest\\
but the light will come again.\\
No, life it can not all be sunshine\\
Neither can it all be rain.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Annie dear, keep up cheer,\\
In this life there's night as well as day.\\
Time will roll, time will roll,\\
Time will roll the darkest clouds away.\\
\\
All the world seem now so cold, mother,\\
Since they took thy form away,\\
Oh now my heart is nearly broken\\
Will the clouds ne'er roll away.\\
I have no one now left to love me,\\
Only grieving life away,\\
Oh mother, my poor heart is breaking,\\
Will the clouds ne'er roll away.\\
\\
Oh I never shall forget, mother,\\
How you used to hope and pray\\
That we might meet again in heaven\\
When life's cloud should roll away.\\
Yet tho' the sky is dark above me,\\
Still must come a brighter day\\
And this fond hope shall cheer me, mother,\\
'Till the clouds have roll'd away.\\
\\
