*Lyrics*

All I want to do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes
Rosanna, Rosanna
I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me, Rosanna
All I want to do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight
Rosanna, Rosanna

I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

I can see your face still shining through the window on the other side
Rosanna, Rosanna
I didn't know that a girl like you could make me feel so sad, Rosanna
All I want to tell you is now you'll never ever have to compromise
Rosanna, Rosanna

I never thought that losing you could ever hurt so bad
Not quite a year since she went away, Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

Not quite a year since she went away,
Who is it? Rosanna
Now she's gone and I have to say

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna
Meet you all the way, meet you all the way, Rosanna

Why isn't THIS the Toto song everybody remembers? I love Africa, it's a great 80s song, but this... this could have been a hit in ANY decade. It's got everything.

When you break the heart of a rock star, you're bound to hear your name in a classic song for decades to come.

I was 16 when my boyfriend bought me this album! I am now 54, and he just showed off his first grandchild! Time does fly! I still love Toto! Thanks 4 the memories!

I heard this today for the time in decades, at a paint store no less. Changed my mood for the better. What the hell happened to music?

0:00 Activated my fight-flight response thinking I opened a PH tab somewhere

Mr. Porcaro, I think I speak for drummers everywhere when I say, thank you. RIP

This song is an absolute masterpiece of Human engineering.

Jeff Pocaro's drumming is out of sight! The multiple beats and fills are great on this song!

This song's just one of a kind. It doesn't fit the classic rock vibe, it makes its own vibe like a BOSS. Music in general is better because this song exists.

This song gets stuck in your head like none other.
RIP Mike and Jeff Porcaro, both excellent Musicians.

AFRICA... and my dad is Pakistanii. It just has all the subtle nuances...the gradually hushed and raised voices... precise whispery vocals....enormous energy...you feel you're'-on the Savannah...ots stunning ion any Country....

I love how the keyboard solo at 2:52 doesn't merely bridge the chorus and verse phrases to a slower passage but uplifts the entire song to a new level with fresh melodies.

What a GREAT SOUND and a group that stands alone! A futuristic type of music.
Brings back a lot of memories!

From that silky smooth Purdie shuffle to the screamin' horns to the mad blues piano riffs to maybe the singular coolest guitar riff I've ever heard (5:02) to that killer doo wop style, this tune is so friggin' BEAST!!
