Angeline

Angeline

Her soft, warm face

Her eyes full of spring

She once wore my ring

'Til another man took my place



But for the time

She was mine

I knew no other need

That the things she would say

In her gentle way

But her heart had longed to be free



Oh, I wish her laughter and carefree years

May her life be free from all pains and fears

May she soon forget our parting tears

Oh I pray that she live in peace...



Angeline, Angeline

God made her to be free

Always beware someone needs tender care

Like the time she gave to me

Angeline, Angeline, Angeline!
