Lyrics
In Angelica
A little boy was born and raised
He grew up with a small town life
And all it's small town ways
With a mind of steel and a heart of gold
He had the pride of his family
Then with one hard fall and a broken heart
He needed a change
He crossed the country miles
Where he was going was a mystery
He traded in that small town life
To live in the city
Though it was unkind
He held his head up high
He had to pursue his dream
Then one night in a crowded room
He found me
And, Oh, Angelica
He's like no one I'd ever seen
He's the greatest man
I'd ever meet
You must be raisin' angels there
And you brought one straight to me
You're always the home in his heart
And he's my, he's my destiny
We were inseparable
Like we'd known each other for eternity
We'd laugh and talk and soon we fell in love
It was so easy
We were goin' strong
When bad news came along
His dream wouldn't be reality
I prayed he'd stay and then one Sunday he said
"Will you marry me?"
Oh, Angelica
He's like no one I'd ever seen
He's the greatest man
I'd ever meet
You must be raisin' angels there
And you brought one straight to me
You're always the home in his heart
And he's my, he's my destiny
Well, ten years later we have life, love and a family
We have new dreams and beautiful memories
Of Angelica
Oh, Angelica
He's like no one I'd ever seen
He's the greatest man
I'd ever meet
You must be raisin' angels there
And you brought one straight to me
You're always the home in his heart
And he's my, he's my destiny
In Angelica
A little boy was born and raised
