Magnolia

From a table across the room

She was signaling me with her eyes

I walked over to be introduced

I said, "Hello", she just smiled

And said, "I know a place not too far from here

We could get away for awhile"

Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name

I never did tell her mine, oh

Magnolia

I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia

And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world

She's forgotten me but I remember her

Magnolia

Well, her lips were as warm as that wet southern night

Her eyes were as black as the sky

And I wondered aloud just what I done right

As I lay there with her by my side

Then she took hold of my hand as she looked up at me

And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"

And there in the moonlight as I watched her leave

I felt a chill down inside, oh

Magnolia

I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia

And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world

She's forgotten me but I remember her

Magnolia

Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia

Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
