Paul Ryan-The Day That Anastasia Romanoff Died....Words & Music Paul Ryan....For those who don't know about Anastasia-She was Grand Duchess Anastasia
of the last sovereign of Imperial Russia-who at 17 was murdered with her family on July 17-1918 by forces of the Bolshevik secret police..

Twelve o'clock they came to take you
Came to wake you for your final dream
Yellow ribbon-coat of satin
Soaked in red-you play your final scene
But they would not take your smile
And they could not close your eyes
Oh sweet Anastasia Ronanoff there's nothing more to fear

Anastasia-sleep my child
Ah you had the magic to drive them wild
Anastasia-do not cry
The lights went out the day you died
And i always cried
The day that Anastasia Romanoff died

Twisting on an empty spiral
Ending in the twilight of your years
Eyes that sparkle like a thousand jewels
They close on fools that had no tears
But they could not take your smile
And they would not close your eyes
Sweet Anastasia Romanoff there's nothing more to fear

Anastasia-sleep my child
Ah you had the magic to drive them wild
Anastasia-do not cry
The lights went out the day you died
And i always cried
The day that Anastasia Romanoff died

Anastasia-sleep my child
Ah you had the magic to drive them wild
Anastasia-do not cry
The lights went out the day you died
And i always cried
The day that Anastasia Romanoff died.
