Lyrics

Southern Nights

Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so

Southern skies
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize to anyone who can truly say
That he has found a better way

Feel so good
Feel so good, It's frightenin'
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La di da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da

Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies?
It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes rushing through your soul
Like the stories told of old

Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy

Mysteries
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies

La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
