Artist/Band: Aaron Neville
Lyrics for Song: Sweet Amelia
Lyrics for Album: To Make Me Who I Am [1997]



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia

A southern woman, a southern woman

Never had a chance to say goodbye



I met her back in sixty-three,

She was such a mystery

She was there on Barron Street,

Down in New Orleans

So wild, but yet so tame,

She could calm a hurricane

She was only seventeen

And Amelia was her name



Oh when I took her for a ride,

She got close by my side

And when I looked into her eye,

Amelia kept me hypnotized

But in my heart she fell,

Oh, I got pulled into her spell

I can still see her there,

With the flowers in her hair



Oh Amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman

I can still feel you, feel you,

Feel you, everytime I close my eyes

Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia

Where did you run to

We never had a chance to say goodbye

Never heard her say goodbye



I remember making love

Underneath the stars above

I can feel the summer breeze

Up in magnolia trees

That night in the southern light,

The girl she took me by the hand

I was weak as a little lamb,

But I became a man



Love was pumping through my veins,

Her lips were sweet like sugarcane

We rode all night in the rain,

'Cross lake Poncetrain

She had a heart as fine as fire,

Burning innocent desire

I can still see her there,

With flowers in her hair



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia

A southern woman, a southern woman

I can still feel you,

Everytime I close my eyes

Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia

Where did you run to, where'd you run to

We never had a chance to say goodbye

Never want to say goodbye



Just like a shooting star,

She vanished in the night

But I'll always remember

Her lips so warm and tender

And in my heart

She'll always shine so bright

Sweet Amelia, if I could just

See her one more time



Oh Amelia, my southern woman

A southern woman,

I can still feel you, oh I can feel you,

Everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes

Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia

Where did you run to

We never had a chance to say goodbye

(Never, never, never, never never say goodbye)



Oh Amelia, oh Amelia

A southern woman, a southern woman

I can still feel you,

Everytime I close my eyes

Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia

Where did you run to

We never had a chance to say goodbye



Oh Amelia, a southern woman,

A southern woman

I can still feel you,

Everytime I close my eyes,

From the bottom of my heart

Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia,

Where did you run to

Where did you run to

We never had a chance to say goodbye
