And then she placed them in a bower
It was the start of you.

I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine
I think they're jealous of your blue eyes
Jealous because you're mine.

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly flower
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

Antelia77, I was just about to tell you that Nancy Sharpe is indeed the lady singing with Elvis on this recording. I found this out a few minutes ago on the internet. I typed in "Who sang Sweet Leilani with Elvis?" and the link that appeared said it was Nancy Sharpe. I'm really glad that johnnyrock5000 told you who the lady was. I had never known who sang this song with Elvis until a few minutes ago.

[johnnyrock5000]

Your very welcome! :-)

This isn't a duet with Linda Thompson. This homerecording is from 1960. It's only available on the FTD CD "In A Private Moment". Elvis never met Linda Thompson until 1972. Elvis' official record labels don't know who Elvis is singing this song with. But, whoever it was, this lady had such a very beautiful singing voice. This video was totally magnificent in every way, 10 Stars.
