Jennifer Logue - Sweet Adeline lyrics

rate me

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 (Thanks to jon for these lyrics)
