I wrote this song for a couple celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary. The husband, Arthur, was so easy to work with! He told me they love pop and rock music, so I tried to capture their story in a way I knew they would both enjoy.

I saw you from across the room
My life would never be the same
An angel in red - you went straight to my head
I just had to know your name
I finally found the courage
To ask you for a dance
And so began one August night
A thirty year romance
Oh, Angelina - you're the brightest star in my sky
You are my Angelina
And forever I am yours, Angelina
Through all our days, and three children raised,
You’ve been my lover and my best friend
An apartment in Queens to the home of our dreams
Oh, the west coast and back again
But no matter where this journey leads
In love is where we’ll stay
From center stage to the galaxies
Your beautiful smile will light my way
Angelina - You're the brightest star in my sky
You are my Angelina
And forever I am yours, Angelina
Now I tiptoe down the hall, hear you sing sweet Kayla off to sleep
I thank the heavens above for the day her grandma married me
Oh, Angelina - you're the brightest star in my sky
You are my Angelina
And forever I am yours
Oh, Angelina - you're the brightest star in my sky
You are my Angelina
And forever I am yours, Angelina
Angelina
