Angelica
Unspoken Love and Fading Flowers: Gary Puckett's Heartfelt Ode
Lyrics
Each night I meant to say
Expressing a missed opportunity each night to convey feelings.
I missed her through the day
Feeling the absence and yearning for her presence during the day.
But I'd forget it
Despite the intention, the speaker often forgets to express his feelings.
I never said it
Regret for not verbalizing emotions and leaving them unsaid.
I'd pass the flower shop
Passing by a flower shop, intending to stop and buy flowers.
Lord knows I meant to stop
Expressing the desire to stop at the flower shop but failing to do so.
But I'd say, tomorrow, perhaps tomorrow
Postponing actions with the hope of doing them tomorrow.
Tomorrow there'd be time
Believing there will be time in the future to fulfill promises.
There'd always be another spring
Assuming there will always be opportunities in the future.
Time to make her laughter ring
Planning to bring joy and happiness in the future.
Time to give her everything
Commitment to providing everything to the person.
Oh my,
An exclamation expressing deep emotion or realization.
Angelica, my Angelica
Addressing the person, Angelica, with affection.
There's so much you never knew
Regret for things unknown and unexpressed to Angelica.
So much I always meant to say
Expressing the intention to say and do more for Angelica.
And do for you, for you, Angelica
Reiterating the commitment and affection for Angelica.
But then the cold winds came
Introducing a challenging phase with the arrival of cold winds.
And when I spoke her name
Not being heard when speaking her name due to external factors.
And held her near me
Being physically close but emotionally distant from Angelica.
She couldn't hear me
Communication barriers leading to a lack of understanding.
The shadow had been cast
A metaphorical shadow cast by time and missed opportunities.
Too many springs had passed
Too much time has passed, and circumstances have changed.
For Angelica
Reiteration of the name, expressing affection.
Sweet Angelica
Calling Angelica sweetly, reflecting fondness.
Now in my silent room
Reflecting on the current state of solitude in a quiet room.
I tend the flowers that I buy
Caring for flowers as a symbolic gesture, possibly representing memories.
As they slowly fade and die
Watching flowers fade and die, symbolizing lost opportunities.
Watered by the tears I cry for my Angelica
Tears shed for the emotional pain associated with Angelica.
My Angelica
Repetition of affectionate address to Angelica.
There's so much you never knew
Reiterating the existence of undisclosed information to Angelica.
So much I always meant to say
Expressing the intention to say and do more for Angelica.
And do for you, for you
Reiterating commitment and affection for Angelica.
Angelica, Angelica, Angelica
Repeating the name for emphasis and emotional connection.
Angelica
Final repetition of Angelica's name, possibly indicating a longing or farewell.
