The First Night in Alabama


The First Night in Alabama

X'mas Eve, 1996. It was magical, the first Southern night in Alabama. It snowed, just a mild snowfall, brisk and light.

and then o'er the radio there was the the voice of Jimmy Buffett. singing "the stars fell on Alabama". Now tears fall in South at his passing.

RIP, Jimmy Buffett . credit: Lottoman17.


 

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
