We lived our little drama

We kissed in a field of white

'n' stars fell on Alabama last night

 

I can't forget the glamour

Your eyes held a tender light

While 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

 

My heart beat like a hammer

My arms wound around you tight

And stars fell on Alabama last night

 

We lived our drama

We kissed in a field of white

And stars fell on Alabama last night

 

I can't forget the glamour

Your eyes held a tender light

And stars fractured 'bama 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

 

My heart beat just like a hammer

Arms wound around you tight

While stars fell on Alabama last night
