TITULO:Sweet Amelia

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
