מילים לשיר Sweet Amelia – Aaron Neville

Oh amelia, oh amelia
A southern woman, a southern woman
Never had a chance to say goodbye I met her back in sixty 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.
