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



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



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
