ATF: Amie and Angie

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



Amie
Pure Prairie League
I can see why you think you belong to me
I never tried to make you think
Or let you see one thing for yourself
But now you're off with someone else and I'm alone
You see I thought that I might keep you for my own

Amie
What you wanna do
I think
I could stay with you
For a while
Maybe longer
If I do

Don't you think the time is right for us to find
All the things we thought weren't proper could be right in time
And can you see
Which way we should turn together or alone
I can never see what's right
Or what is wrong
Yeah
You take too long to see

Amie
What you wanna do
I think
I could stay with you
For a while
Maybe longer
If I do

Well

Amie
What you wanna do
I think
I could stay with you
For a while
Maybe longer
If I do

Now it's come to what you want
You've had your way
And all the things you though before
Just faded into gray
And you see
That I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us
I'm sure we both will see
Won't you look at me
And tell me

Amie
What you wanna do
I think
I could stay with you
For a while
Maybe longer
If I do now
Longer if I do
Yeah now
Amie
What you wanna do
I think
I could stay with you
For a while
Maybe longer
If I do

I keep
Falling in and out of love with you
Falling in and out of love with you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
I keep
Falling in and out of love
With you



Angie
The Rolling Stones
Angie
Angie
When will those clouds all disappear
Angie
Angie
Where will it lead us from here

With no loving in our souls
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 ain't it time we said goodbye
Angie
I still love you
Remember all those nights we cried

All the dreams we 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

Angie
Don't you weep
All your kisses still taste sweet
I hate that sadness in your eyes
But Angie
Angie
Ain't it time we said goodbye

Ain't it time we said goodbye

With no loving in our souls
And no money in our coats
You can't say we're satisfied
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

  2. After seeing these it occurred to me that female names starting with the letter A have been used a lot in songs. There is Amanda by Boston, Hearts Dreamboat Annie and Elton John's Amy to name a few

  5. Two great songs. Ray and I went to see the Stones in June (my first time) and it was so exciting. They just don't change.

    1. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Barb!!! It is amazing that they are still alive--let alone still performing (naturally-speaking, of course).
