Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
|
A southern woman, a southern woman
|
Never had a chance to say goodbye
|
|
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
|
She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
|
So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
|
She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
|
|
Oh when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
|
And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
|
But in my heart she fell, oh I got pulled into her spell
|
I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair
|
|
Oh Amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman
|
I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime I close my eyes
|
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
|
Where did you run to
|
We never had a chance to say goodbye
|
Never heard her say goodbye
|
|
I remember making love underneath the stars above
|
I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
|
That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand
|
I was weak as a little lamb, but I became a man
|
|
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
|
We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake Poncetrain
|
She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
|
I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair
|
|
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
|
A southern woman, a southern woman
|
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
|
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
|
Where did you run to, where'd you run to
|
We never had a chance to say goodbye
|
Never want to say goodbye
|
|
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
|
But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
|
And in my heart she'll always shine so bright
|
Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
|
|
Oh Amelia, my southern woman
|
A southern woman,
|
I can still feel you, oh I can feel you, everytime I close my eyes, close my eyes
|
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
|
Where did you run to
|
We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say goodbye)
|
|
Oh Amelia, oh Amelia
|
A southern woman, a southern woman
|
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes
|
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia
|
Where did you run to
|
We never had a chance to say goodbye
|
|
Oh Amelia, a southern woman,
|
A southern woman
|
I can still feel you, everytime I close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart
|
Sweet Amelia, sweet Amelia,
|
Where did you run to
|
Where did you run to
|
We never had a chance to say goodbye
|
