Angelina lyrics

We were children who played

On the backstreets of border towns

And we dreamed of the day

When we might run away

To where the good life was found

I remember the night

When I asked you to be my girl

Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made

When I said I would give you the world

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes

I believe I could change the world

With you by my side

My Angelina, give me courage to try

I believe in the man I see

In my Angelina's eyes

Seems like nothin' worked out

Quite the way it was planned to be

Oh, the dreams that we chased

When we came to this place

Are like nightmares to me

Workin' day after day

In the noise of the factory

And the money's no good but if I say a word

Immigration will take me away

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes

I believe I could change the world

With you by my side

My Angelina, give me courage to try

I believe in the man I see

In my Angelina's eyes

If I hadn't been drunk

I would never have hit that man

But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye

When he asked Angelina to dance

Now they're takin' me south

To a jail down in border town

But it won't be for long, Angelina, be strong

Keep believin' our dreams will work out

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes

I believe I could change the world

With you by my side

My Angelina, give me courage to try

I believe in the man I see

In my Angelina's eyes

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes

I believe I could change the world

With you by my side
