Angelita Lyrics by Jon Auer

Songs from the Year of Our Demise

2006

[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful sight -- all in the blink of an eye
Like at the end of the night when the darkness turns to light
And with a promise to be you kept it burnin' for me
Like the sun in July when it hurts too much to see
[Chorus]
You were the only one who knew
All the hell I put you through
You were the tested, tried, and true, Angelita
You were the only pair of eyes
Clear enough to recognize
You were the first to realize, Angelita
[Verse 2]
I kept you hidden away, seven years to the day
The twenty-seventh of May, Angelita
And you were beautiful then -- but you're astonishing now
As much as life will allow let me be the one to say
[Chorus]
You were the only one who knew
All the hell I put you through
You were the tested, tried, and true, Angelita
You were the only pair of eyes
Clear enough to recognize
You were the first to realize, Angelita
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
I kept you hidden away (I kept you hidden away), seven years to the day (seven years to the day)
Seven years to the day (seven years to the day), Angelita
I started running away (I started running away), seven years to the day (seven years to the day)
Seven years to the day (seven years to the day), Angelita
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oohooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oohooh oohooh
