Strum
D-DU-UDU
Write  a song, a song, write a song about  her
Hum  a tune, a tune, hum a tune, you miss  her
 Words that wouldn't rhyme, wouldn't rhyme... It's over
Start  another line, start a line anew
She's  the kinda girl, a man, Lord, remembers
 Remembers..  remembers...
She's  the kinda girl you just got to love  her
 If you know  her and I knew  her
Sitting  in the dark, in the darkness of  my room
 I wonder why I look  the sky, look the sky begins to softly  cry
 Morning new running  through the grass throught the sweet green morning  dew
 Clinging to her golden  hair, I had to leave  her
Yesterdays  newspaper  forcast  no  rain for today
 Yesterdays news was old news the skies are all grey
Winter  is in labor  and soon  give birth  to the Spring
 And sprinkle the meadow with flowers for my Angeline
 Heartache and sorrow and sadness, unendlingly find
 Wings on her memory with them, she flies to my mind
 She stretched her arms for a moment then went back to sleep
 While morning stood watching ever so silently weep
 She opened her eyes, Lord, the minute my feet touched the floor
 The cold hardwood creaked with each step that I made to the door
 There I turned to her gently and said, "Hun, just look, Its Spring"
 Knowing outside the window the Winter looked for Angeline
 But yesterday's newspaper forcast no rain for today
 Sitting in the dark...
