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
