Let the time flow, let the love grow
Let the rain shower, let the rose flower

Love it conquers, love it binds

Drawn to each other by the love inside of us
We give to each other our different worlds
As long as we can do it life’s is going to breeze right through it
Let the time flow, let the love grow
Let the rain shower, let the rose flower
Love it seeks, love it finds
Love it conquers, love it binds
Love it seeks, love it finds
Love it conquers, love it binds

A Tale of Two Brooklyns
Angie is a classic late-70s sitcom that explored the “Cinderella” story through a comedic lens. Donna Pescow stars as Angie Falco, a blue-collar waitress from a big Italian-American family in Philadelphia who falls in love with and marries Brad Benson (Robert Hays), a wealthy pediatrician. The show’s humor largely stemmed from the clash between Angie’s down-to-earth family and Brad’s high-society relatives.
The theme song, “Different Worlds,” was performed by Maureen McGovern and written by the legendary duo of Charles Fox and Norman Gimbel (the same team behind the Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley themes). The song became a significant hit in its own right, reaching the Billboard Hot 100. Its lyrics perfectly encapsulate the show’s central premise: two people from vastly different backgrounds finding common ground through love.
