	Story Behind the Song One day, when I was feeding my baby, a melody came bouncing into my mind. It was such fun music! My husband and I were working on a children's album at the time. For about a week, I searched for the words to go with it, to no avail. Then, as I was cutting my five-year-old's hair, a wonderful story about a woman named Hannah, who lived in a lighthouse, came into my mind. Later, as I researched about lighthouses, I discovered that there were many women who were lightouse keepers. In fact, the first woman lighthouse keeper in North America was named Hannah! I love lighthouses and have visited a number in Oregon, California and Delaware. Lyrics Hannah Suzannah Johanna Roseanna lived in a lighthouse down by the sea. Hannah Suzannah Johanna Roseanna had lived in her lighthouse since 1803. The captains of ships, oh, they never would cry for they knew that Hannah was shining close by. When children in town were afraid of the night, they'd look out their windows at Hannah's bright light. Hannah Suzannah Johanna Roseanna made doughnuts and cider for folks who passed by. On special occasions like birthdays or weddings she'd whip up her famous black raspberry pie. The children loved Hannah Suzannah Johanna Roseanna and grownups would walk with her down by the sea. They'd sit for a while and Aunt Hannah would smile and say she was as rich as a person could be. Oh, Hannah Suzannah Johanna Roseanna, the life that she lived was so fine. And I'm Anna Suzannah Johanna Roseanna, and like my Aunt Hannah, I'll let my light shine.
