Tekstovi: Jennifer Logue. Sweet Adeline.

Verse 1:
There was a man
With a little girl
She was all he had
The moon and the stars of his world
She loved to dance
A ballerina since the age of 3
So when the Lord took her away
The broken man put her dancing shoes on her grave
And he said

Chorus:
Fly
Sweet Adeline
Keep flying to your place beyond the sky
Fly
Sweet Adeline
Dont look down on us as we hold our heads and cry
As we cry

Verse 2:
That broken man
Sat alone and sobbed
Thinking of the life he could have lived
If not for his fallen star
He dreamed of Adeline,
A young lady at the prom,
Who would one day walk down the aisle,
Holding her fathers arm,
And he said

Chorus

Bridge:
And when the day came
For her to have kids
What a great grandfather
He would have been
But all is lost
And all is gone
And all that remains of Adeline is this song.

Chorus
