Angie
Horace Andy & Ashley Beedle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Angie, Angie
When will those clouds all disappear?
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here?
With no lovin' in our soul and no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
But Angie, Angie
You can't say we never tried

Angie, you're beautiful
But I hate that sadness in your eyes
Angie, I still love you baby
Remember all those nights we cried
All the dreams were held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Let me whisper in your ear
Angie, Angie
Where will it lead us from here? Yeah

All the dreams we held so close
Seemed to all go up in smoke
Hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie, I still love you baby
Everywhere I look I see your eyes
There ain't a woman that comes close to you
Come on baby dry your eyes
But Angie, Angie




Ain't it good to be alive
Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried

Overall Meaning

The song "Angie" by Horace Andy and Ashley Beedle seems to be about a struggling relationship between two people who are looking for a way out. It appears that the two of them have been through some tough times and have lost every dream they ever had. The singer talks about how they have no love in their soul and no money in their coats, indicating a sense of emptiness and despair. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may be on the verge of collapse, but at the same time, there is still a desire to make things work.


The singer acknowledges the beauty of his partner, Angie, but can't stand the sadness in her eyes. He recalls the moments they shared together, including the nights they cried, and reflects on how all of their dreams seemed to go up in smoke. The lines "Let me whisper in your ear, Angie, Angie / Where will it lead us from here? Yeah" show a desire to come up with a solution together.


However, there is a sense of optimism in the chorus, where the singer assures that though things are not perfect, they can't say they have never tried. The final lines "But Angie, Angie / Ain't it good to be alive / Angie, Angie, you can't say we never tried" suggest a willingness to keep going, to keep trying to make things work.
