From a table across the room
She was signaling me with her eyes
I walked over to be introduced
I said, "Hello", she just smiled
And said, "I know a place not too far from here
We could get away for awhile"
Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name
I never did tell her mine, oh
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Well, her lips were as warm as that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud just what I done right
As I lay there with her by my side
Then she took hold of my hand as she looked up at me
And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"
And there in the moonlight as I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside, oh
Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia
Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
