Sweet Harmony
Serge Devant Lyrics

Oh, Amelia
The singer is addressing a woman named Amelia.

My southern woman
Amelia is from the southern part of the country.

Never had a chance to say goodbye
The singer never got the opportunity to say goodbye to Amelia.

I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery
The singer met Amelia in 1963 and was intrigued by her.

She was there on Barron Street, down in New Orleans
Amelia was in New Orleans on Barron Street when the singer met her.

So wild but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane
Amelia had a wild side but could also be very calm and soothing.

She was only seventeen and Amelia was her name
Amelia was a young woman and that was her name.

Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got close by my side
The singer took Amelia for a ride and she sat close to him.

And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized
Amelia's eyes captivated the singer.

But in my heart she fell, oh, I got pulled into her spell
The singer fell in love with Amelia and was under her spell.

I can still see her there with the flowers in her hair
The singer has a vivid memory of Amelia with flowers in her hair.

I can still feel you every time I close my eyes
The singer still feels Amelia's presence even when he's not with her.

Sweet Amelia, where did you run to?
The singer is wondering where Amelia went.

We never had a chance to say goodbye
The singer and Amelia never had a chance to say goodbye.

I remember making love underneath the stars above
The singer has a memory of making love with Amelia under the stars.

I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees
The singer recalls the feeling of the summer breeze in the magnolia trees.

That night in the Southern land, the girl, she took me by the hand
Amelia took the singer by the hand on a night in the South.

And I was weak as a little lamb but I became a man
The singer felt weak but also grew as a man from his experience with Amelia.

Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane
The singer was filled with love and enjoyed the sweetness of Amelia's kisses.

We rode all night in the rain 'cross the Lake Poncetrain
The singer and Amelia rode through the rain across Lake Ponchartrain.

She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire
Amelia had a passionate yet innocent heart.

Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night
Amelia left suddenly, like a shooting star disappearing.

But I'll always remember her lips so warm and tender
The singer will always remember the warmth and tenderness of Amelia's lips.

In my heart she'll always shine so bright
Amelia will always have a special place in the singer's heart.

Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
The singer wishes he could see Amelia again.
