from the songs album Coconut Telegraph
By: mitchell parish, frank perkins
1934
For all the crooners and swooners wherever they may be
Moonlight and magnolias, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was i really there
Was i really there with you
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on alabama that night
I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on alabama last night
Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on alabama last night
--spoken:
"alright, let's take it on down from muscle shoals through decatur"
"mmmm, birmingham, ooh montgomery"
"right up over spanish fort into mobile, my hometown"
"mister t..."
(harmonica solo)
Chorus:
I never planned in my imagination, a situation so heavenly
A fairy land that no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight
Ah, stars fell on alabama last night
--spoken:
"one more time boys..."
Yes, we lived our little drama
We kissed on the dunes so white
And stars fell on alabama
Last night
