Lyrics
Dear Michaelangelo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every summer in the gardens of Florence
A peasant of female persuasion
Used to cry for Michaelangelo
To save her from death's invitation
Some say this woman was crazy
Others say this woman was possessed
Just one look at her face
And it's evident to her he was the best (oh)
Dear Michaelangelo
Color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings
And I'm with you in your bed
Dear Michaelangelo
Save me from death's invitation
I'll make love to no one unless he's of your persuasion
By summer's end came many offers
All of which the peasant refused
She wanted Michaelangelo
And no other, no other man would do
No one could speak of passion and touch her
Touch her the way that he does
No one except Michaelangelo
It was him (life without love)
Or a life without love
A life without love
A life without love
Don't die
Don't die without love
Dear Michaelangelo
Dear Mi-chael-an-ge-lo
Angel
Dear Michaelangelo
Color the dreams in my head
I look at your paintings
And I'm with you in your bed
