Oh Angelina

Oh, Angelina Oh Angelina, thank God I can make it, my road has been twisted and long I've traveled on it in search of a sonnet that I can turn into a song It's been so long since we last sang together and I was afraid that I'd never again see your smile Oh, Angelina, I do thank you kindly for letting me stay here a while Oh, Angelina Well music brings comfort and music brings beauty while easing the pain in the heart Music keeps rattling 'round in my brain and then that's when a new tune will start The words keep on coming and I keep on playing but mostly there's no one around who is willing to hear Oh, Angelina, it's hard to keep going My fortitude's fading to fear Oh, Angelina Well, I would be grateful and it would be fateful if we never questioned just why But, oh Angelina, I know you can heal me by singing my songs to the sky Oh, Angelina I woke up the morning of Dia de los Muertos, my dream is still fresh in my mind My ancestors telling me not to go fearfully, music will always be kind It was last night that we sang songs together again and it felt just the same as in better old times Oh Angelina, I do thank you kindly for breathing life into my rhymes Oh, Angelina Well, I'm truly grateful and it has been fateful that we captured better old times And, oh Angelina, I do thank you kindly for breathing life into my rhymes Oh, Angelina Oh, Angelina
