1934
For all the crooners and swooners wherever they may be
Moonlight and magnolias, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there
Was I really there with you
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama that night
I can’t forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night
Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night
—Spoken:
«Alright, let’s take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur»
«Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery»
«Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown»
«Mister T…»
(harmonica solo)
Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night
—Spoken:
«One more time boys…»
Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
