Stars Fell On Alabama

Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis

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 stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamor, 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 land where 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



We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white

And stars fell on Alabama last night

I can't forget the glamor, 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 land where 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
