From a table across the room |
|
She was signaling me with her eyes |
|
I walked over to be introduced |
|
I said hello, she just smiled |
|
And said I know a place not too far from here |
|
Where we could get away for a while |
|
Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name |
|
I never did tell her mine |
|
MagnoliaI remember the smell of the wind so sweet |
|
MagnoliaAnd |
|
I know that she's out there somewhere in the world |
|
She's forgotten me but |
|
I remember her |
|
MagnoliaWell her lips were as warm |
|
As that wet southern night |
|
Her eyes were as black as the sky |
|
And I wondered aloud |
|
Just what |
|
I had done right |
|
As I lay there with her by my side |
|
Then she took hold my hand |
|
As she looked up at me |
|
And said now |
|
I must tell you goodbye |
|
And there in the moonlight |
|
As I watched her leave |
|
I felt a chill down inside |
|
MagnoliaI remember the smell of the wind so sweet |
|
MagnoliaAnd |
|
I know that she's out there somewhere in the world |
|
She's forgotten me but |
|
I remember her |
|
Magnolia |
