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

Where we could get away for a while

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 suite

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 had done right

As I lay there with her by my side

Then she took hold 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 suite

Magnolia

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

She's forgotten me, but I remember her

Magnolia
