Happy New Year!

Stars Fell on Alabama
Composed by Frank Perkins with lyrics by Mitchell Parish

Moonlight and magnolia, starlight in your hair
All the world a dream come true
Did it really happen, was I really there, was I really there with you?
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night.
I can’t forget the glamor, 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.
We lived our little drama, we kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night.

I can’t forget the glamor, 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.

The image above made me think of the song “Stars Fell on Alabama,” with its magnolias, starlight, and field of white. This is not a scene you’d see in Alabama, but it’s a scene I could imagine a guy from Alabama witnessing on a snowy New Year’s Eve in Vermont.

Happy New Year, Everyone!
