Description: ► SUPPORT MY ART: patreon.com/trudbol ► GET LEARNING TRACKS: julienneel.com "You're the Flower of My Heart, Sweet Adeline" is one of the best known, loved, and most often sung barbershop ballads. It was first published in 1903. It became a hit when it was performed in 1904 by the group The Haydn Quartet. John F. Fitzgerald, who served as mayor of Boston, represented Massachusetts in Congress and was the maternal grandfather of President John F. Kennedy, made "Sweet Adeline" his theme song in 1909. Over the next four decades, he personally sang it at countless political and social events and on the radio. ► DOWNLOAD MY MUSIC: trudbol.bandcamp.com ► FACEBOOK: facebook.com/trudbolmusic --- CREDITS ► Music & lyrics by Richard Gerard & Harry Armstrong ► Arranged by SPEBSQSA ► Performed & recorded by Julien Neel --- LYRICS In the evening when I sit alone a-dreaming Of days gone by, love, to me so dear, There's a picture that in fancy oft' appearing, Brings back the time, love, when you were near. It is then I wonder where you are, my darling, And if your heart to me is still the same. For the sighing wind and nightingale a-singing Are breathing only your own sweet name. Sweet Adeline, (My Adeline,) My Adeline, (My Adeline,) At night, dear heart, (At night, dear heart,) For you I pine. (For you I pine.) In all my dreams, (In all my dreams,) Your fair face beams. (Your fair face beams.) You're the flower of my heart, Sweet Adeline. (My Adeline.)
