Sweet Amelia Lyrics - Aaron Neville

(aaron neville, gordon chambers, robbie nevil, bradley spalter) 

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
