    I heard this song performed by a female vocalist group called Saol (spelling) does anyone know where I can get this song by this group. I believe they are from Dublin but I could be wrong.

    Tommy Makem - Gentle Annie
    (written by: Tommy Makem)

    Buy this album!
    From the album "Songbag"

    Fair and lovely Annie,
    Your gentle ways have won me.
    You bring peace and joy and laughter everywhere.
    Where you go the sunshine follows,
    You're a breath of spring in winter
    And my heart and soul are always in your care.

    Gentle Annie, Gentle Annie,
    And my heart and soul
    Are always in your care.

    When you touch me with your fingers,
    My cares and worries vanish
    Like the morning dew before the rising sun,
    When your eyes tell me you love me,
    Then my soul is filled with wonder
    And my love for you will live when life is done.

    Gentle Annie, Gentle Annie,
    And my love for you
    Will live when life is done.

    You're the flower among the flowers,
    You're the birdsong in the morning,
    You're the laughter of the children at their play.
    You're my hope and joy and wisdom,
    You're my reason just for living,
    You're my treasure,
    You're my very night and day.

    Gentle Annie, Gentle Annie,
    You're my treasure,
    You're my very night and day.

    When the mountains all come tumbling
    And the earth has stopped its turning,
    When the winds don't blow and stars refuse to shine,
    When the moon has left the heavens,
    And the seven seas are empty,
    I will still have Gentle Annie on my mind.

    Gentle Annie, Gentle Annie,
    I will still have Gentle Annie on my mind.

    That is the song alright, but the group that did it did an excelent version of it. and I cannot for the life of me find it on google or anywhere. fiver says I'm spelling the word "Saol" wrong.
