Aaron Neville - Sweet Amelia lyrics
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 </p |
