Letra da Música Artificial Flowers de Kevin Spacey

Alone in the world was poor little annie
As sweet a young child as you'd find
Her parents had gone to their final reward
Leavin' their baby behind

Did you hear this poor little child
Was only nine years of age
When mother and dad went away
Still she bravely worked
At the one thing she knew to earn
Her few pennies a day

She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers
You know those artificial flowers
Fashions from Annie's despair

With paper and shears, with some wire and wax
She made up each tulip and mum
As snowflakes drifted into her tenement room
Her baby little fingers grew numb

From makin' artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of high fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, artificial flowers
Made from annie's despair

They found little annie all covered with ice
Still clutchin' her poor frozen shears
Amidst all the blossoms she had fashioned by hand
And watered with all her young tears

There must be a heaven where little annie can play
In heavenly gardens and bowers
And instea-a-ad of a halo
She'll wear 'round her head
A garland of genuine flowers

No more artificial flowers, throw away those artificial flowers
Flowers for ladies of society to wear
Throw away those artificial flowers, those dumb-dumb flowers
Fashioned from annie's
Fashioned from a-a-a-annie's despair
