Last night the moon was shining made a perfect night for love. And I had love words that I know would've made you mine. Well my arms were reaching to hold you tight and my lips were burning too.
I just finished reading one of your sweet letters. That you wrote before we made our sacred vow. And the way you said you felt tonight you wrote it. Is far from being the way you're feeling now.
I take the chance to be with you I've tried to live my life the best I can. I've prayed I'd never cheat to heed my heart's command. But dear you know to one I've been untrue.
Alabama your beautiful sunlight your fields are so recent potatoes and corn. Alabama your crimson red clover all mingle around the old place I was born.
When I loved you, you didn't want me. You turned me away from the door of your heart. When I loved you. You loved me too but you didn't know it darling.
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free. I wish I could break all the chains holding me. I wish I could say all the things that I should say. Say 'em loud, say 'em clear for the whole round world to hear.
