Stars Fell on Alabama
She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
While 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

My heart beat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night

We lived our 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 fractured 'Bama
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

My heart beat just like a hammer
Arms wound around you tight




While stars fell on Alabama
Last night

I've been looking up She & Him songs and - I've always liked her voice - but I'm appreciating it more. Sorry to say, I keep forgetting "Him"'s name, but I'm really liking his guitar work on so many of their songs.
