I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Cryin in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I've walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
Tears are in my mind and nothing is rhyming
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
I faced the morning
Cryin' on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
You live your life in the songs you hear
On the rock & roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
That's a really nice place to go
Folks hopin' you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you outa school
You're a little touched you know, angie baby
Lovers appear in your room each night
And they whirl you 'cross the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
"angie girl, are you alright?
Tell the radio good night."
All alone once more, angie baby
(chorus):
Angie baby, you're a special lady
Livin' in a world of make believe ... Well, maybe
Stoppin' at her house is a neighbor boy
With evil on his mind
'Cause he's been peekin' in angie's room
Every night through the window blind
"i see your folks have gone away,
Would you dance with me today?
I'll show you how to have a good time, angie baby"
When he walks in her room, he feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost it's way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found
Well the headline reads that a boy disappeared
And everyone thinks he died
'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps her satisfied
It's so nice to be insane, no one asks you to explain
Radio by your side, angie baby
Imaging a still summer's day
When nothing is moving
Least of all mMe
I lay on my back in the hay
The warm sun was soothing.
It made me feel good
The day I met Marie.
The Sound of her whisper hello.
Came tiptoing to softly into my head.
I opened my eyes kinda slow.
And there she was smiling.
It made me feel good.
The day I met Marie.
With the laughing eyes.
She'd toss her hair and tantalize.
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze.
I remember her kiss
So soft on my brow and the way she said
Baby go to sleep now
Baby go to sleep now
I woke with the chill in the air
The warm sun no longer hung in the sky
I reached out but she was not there
She'd gone where she came from
But I still feel good
To think I've known Marie
With the laughing eyes
She'd toss her hair and tantalize
She came to touch me then she's gone
Just like a summer breeze
Marianne, must I live for only yesterday?
Now you've gone away, Marianne
Marianne, all I have is just a memory
Of what you mean to me, Marianne
Here am I without a love to my name
I shall be just following my lonely heart
Endlessly must I be calling your name
Telling you I am waiting
Won't you please come back again?
Marianne, must I wait until eternity?
Please come back to me, Marianne
Here am I without a love to my name
I shall be just following my lonely heart
Endlessly must I be calling your name
Telling you I am waiting
Won't you please come back again?
Marianne, must I wait until eternity?
Please come back to me, Marianne
Please come back to me, Marianne
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
All the beautiful sounds of the world
In a single word
(Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria
(Maria, Maria
Maria
I just met a girl named Maria
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me
Maria,
I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found
How wonderful a sound can be
Maria,
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying
And aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But whos to blame?
For a love that wouldnt bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesnt mean a thing.
And aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was june.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
But God I miss the girl,
And Id go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I cant have the one I want, I’ll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And Id go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.
I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Cryin in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
I'm standing on the edge of time
I've walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
Tears are in my mind and nothing is rhyming
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
Yesterday's a dream
I faced the morning
Cryin' on a breeze
The pain is calling
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today
Oh Mandy
You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away
Oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you
