Magnolia Moon
Magnolia moon in June, movin' through the trees over me
Takes me back to the days when we were young again
Remember when you were with me almost all the time
And you were always such a champion by my side
Gone are the dawns as if they never came
The sandy lane keeps a-callin' just the same
And your name is still remembered when the friends jubilee
And you should see the sweet magnolias in the lane
Magnolia moon will soon be shining one last time just for me
Through the night like a beacon beyond the hill of time
When you were mine and, oh, such a painting in southern skies
Like the eyes of my darlin' in surprise
Gone with the dawn, immortal face in time
Like the blue-green of the bayou, you were mine
And your shrine is with these people, they'll forever see your light
And you should smell the sweet magnolias in the night
