You grabbed my hand And held on tight We floated down Past prying eyes And I'd never jumped dear From such great heights Were you not there, dear Adeline You got a voice dear That's hard to find I hear it call me Each time I die It brings me back love, And you're wearing white It's all the time now, dear Adeline And we'll wave goodbye to the punch drunk world Sugarcoat so sweet, little gum drop girl And I'm hopeless to believe in But, if you'll just stay a while I'll do anything you say Dear Adeline I caught you smiling I asked you why You said no reason I said baby that's just fine Long as you're happy Right by my side Your little gun shy grin, Adeline You'll take no husband You'll have no kids But you love your whiskey And all your friends They'll break your back love But you'll never cry Cause you never was like them Dear Adeline And we'll waive goodbye to the punch drunk world
