Sweet Angeline
Words & Music:
Arnold/ Martin/ MorrowSweet Angeline I loved you much more than poets say in rhyme
Just for one short time
Sweet Angeline remember though we've not seen the summer through
I lived only for you
I'm only human and I realize it's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had
Sweet Angeline remember though we've not seen the summer through
I lived only for you
I'm only human and I realize it's no use trying to disguise
My love for you Angeline has ended
So let's be thankful now not sad

Raised on RockReactions
Elvis' voice is really very beautiful on this one. The musicians are Bobby Manual, guitar; Johnny Christopher, acoustic guitar;Donald Dunn, bass; Al Jackson, drums. Overdubs were done later as well as Elvis voice, who recorded his at his Palm Spings home on 22 September 1973.
My favorite song on the LP "Raised On Rock". A perfect ballad with Elvis in total control and great support by the band, the Stamps and Ms. Westmoreland. 5 stars!
