Lyrics
- Endless nights of care and watchful waiting
Do I wait in vain? is it all in vain?
Shall I be rewarded for my waiting?
Will we meet again? shall we love again?
Chorus
My Angeline, when all is green in Arcady
I’ll return to you, sweetheart
My Angeline, my every dream of Arcady
Makes me yearn for you, sweetheart
I know the road is always long
That leads to paradise
And just as long as we believe
In love undying, my Angeline
When all is green, then I’ll remember
You wait for me in Arcady, my Angeline
- Every vow that we have gently spoken
All we ever prized, will be realized
They were not intended to be broken
Deep within each heart, even tho’ we part
