Lyrics

Moonlight and magnolia, 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 the stars fell on Alabama last night
I can’t forget the glamour
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night

I Never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy tale where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear

Did my heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

All right let’s take on down through Muscle Shoals and Decatur
Um, Birmingham
Uh, Montgomery
Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, My Hometown

Mr. T!

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

Did my heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night

Yes, We lived our little drama, we kissed on the dunes so white
And the stars fell on Alabama last night

Jimmy’s Note:

I have been called a cornball and a hopeless romantic. I appreciate those labels, and I don’t apologize for my feelings. I have always loved the Tin Pan Alley kind of songs that came out of writing teams in the forties. This one, of course, was known to me as a kid, and I like to play it at shows now. It’s fun to see teenagers mouth the words to a song they might never heard if I hadn’t been such a cornball.

For all the crooners and swooners wherever they may be.
