	The best part of this album, and one of the most beautiful highlights of George Harrison's songwriting career, are the next three songs. "Dark Sweet Lady" is a sincere and slightly Hawaiian-sounding song which was, according to Mr. Harrison, written on request from his beloved Olivia. Curious that in these simple lyrics we find lines previously uttered by Paul McCartney ('you gave me everything...' from "Silly Love Songs") and John Lennon ('you came from out the blue...' from "Out of the Blue")...was this a little hommage offered to his old friends??

Lyrics

My dark sweet lady
You really got to me
You gave me everything
I've really fallen.

You came and helped me through
When I'd let go
You came from out the blue
Never have known what I'd done without you.

My dark sweet lady
Your heart so close to mine
You shine so heavenly . . . and
I love you dearly.
