We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white,
And stars fell on Alabama last night.
I can't forget the glamour, your eyes held a tender light,
And stars fell on Alabama last night.

I never planned in my imagination a situation so heavenly,
A fairy land where no one else could enter, and in the center, just you and me, dear.
My heart beat like a hammer, my arms wound around you tight,
And stars fell on Alabama last night.
