Angelica
Gary Puckett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I missed her through the day
But I'd forget it
I never said it
I'd pass the flower shop
Lord knows I meant to stop
But I'd say, tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow
Tomorrow there'd be time
Time to make her laughter ring
Time to give her everything
Oh my,
Angelica, my Angelica
There's so much you never knew
So much I always meant to say
And do for you, for you, Angelica
But then the cold winds came
And when I spoke her name
And held her near me
She couldn't hear me
The shadow had been cast
Too many springs had passed
For Angelica
Sweet Angelica
Now in my silent room
I tend the flowers that I buy
As they slowly fade and die
Watered by the tears I cry for my Angelica
My Angelica
There's so much you never knew
So much I always meant to say
And do for you, for you
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Angelica
The lyrics to Gary Puckett's song 'Angelica' tell the story of a man who never expressed his love and appreciation for a woman in his life until it was too late. He spends his days working and forgetting to stop by the flower shop or tell her how much he misses her. He always puts things off until tomorrow, thinking there will always be time to make her laugh and give her everything she deserves. Unfortunately, time passes by too quickly, and one day, when he finally tries to connect with her, it's too late. The woman is no longer around to hear him and, even worse, he must live the rest of his life with this regret, unable to tell her all the things he meant to say.
The lyrics paint a sad Picture, one that teaches us the importance of communicating our feelings before it's too late. Relationships can be unpredictable, and we don't always have forever to express ourselves fully. We must take the time to make sure those closest to us know how much they mean to us and how much they are appreciated before it's too late. Life is unpredictable, and every day is precious, which is why it's essential to seize every opportunity to express our love and gratitude to those around us.
