Angelina, let my love be their light
Though I'm a painter you can't see my pictures
But you know the colors I use
They flash in your mind still you don't know their meaning
But I'll teach the meaning to you
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
Angelina, let my love be their light
You never looked at the face that I cherish
Or see the sun in your hair
I will speak softly and touch you and kiss you
To prove I'm there
Angelina, hmm
Angelina, let my love be your light
Angelina, just like the night is a part of the day
You're a part of me
Angelina, though your eyes have been closed all your life
Angelina, let my love be your light
Angelina, hmm
Can you see me Angelina? Hmm
Can you see me Angelina?
Angelina - Hall & Oates
Released in 1981, "Angelina" stands as a defining track in the Hall & Oates catalog, blending pop sensibilities with the duo's signature blend of rock and R&B influences. The song features a distinctive guitar riff that became a staple of their live performances and radio play throughout the early 1980s. While often associated with the broader "Rich Girl" era sound, it showcases the band's ability to craft anthemic hooks that resonated with audiences across generations. The recording captures the polished production typical of their work during this period, balancing melodic accessibility with the rhythmic drive that characterized their discography. As a staple of their live sets and essential collections, the track remains a testament to their enduring influence on soft rock and adult contemporary music.
