Stars Fell On Alabama

By: Mitchell Parish, Frank Perkins

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

--Spoken:

"Alright, let's take it on down from Muscle Shoals through Decatur"

"Mmmm, Birmingham, ooh Montgomery"

"Right up over Spanish Fort into Mobile, my hometown"

"Mister T..."

(harmonica solo)

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

Ah, stars fell on Alabama last night

--Spoken:

"One more time boys..."

Yes, we lived our little drama

We kissed on the dunes so white

And stars fell on Alabama
