Adeline
Words by Richard H. Gerard and Music by Henry
Armstrong
Publication: M. Whitmark and Sons, Inc. (1903)
A barbershop quartet favorite, this song is
incredibly beautiful,
and "hits" on many emotional levels, perhaps
its the dreamy quality
of its melody, or the yearning in the lyrics
for someone who is gone.
