Lyrics for Angelica

Each night I meant to say I missed her through the day But I'd forget it I never said it I passed the flower shop Lord knows I meant to stop But I said tomorrow Perhaps tomorrow Tomorrow there'd be time There'd always be another spring Time to make her laughter ring Time to give her everything Angelica, my Angelica There's so much you never knew So much I always meant to say And do, for you, for you Angelica And then the cold winds came And when I spoke her name And felt her near me She couldn't hear me Her shadow had been cast Too many springs had passed For Angelica Sweet Angelica Now in my solitude I tend the flowers that I buy As they slowly fade and die Watered by the tears I cry For my Angelica, my Angelica There's so much you never knew So much I always meant to say And do, for you, for you Angelica Angelica Angelica Angelica
