"Southern Nights" lyrics
Ashley Cooke & Country Never Dies Lyrics
(originally by Allen Toussaint)
Southern nights
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
He has found a better way
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies
Its precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy
Joy
Feels so good
Feels so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
Mystery
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies
Southern nights
They feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Have you ever felt a southern night?
Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
Whistling tunes that you know and love so
Southern nights
Just as good even when closed your eyes
I apologize
To anyone who can truly say
He has found a better way
Southern skies
Have you ever noticed southern skies
Its precious beauty lies just beyond the eye
It goes running through your soul
Like the stories told of old
Old man
He and his dog they walked the old land
Every flower touched his cold hand
As he slowly walked by
Weeping willows would cry for joy
Joy
Feels so good
Feels so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
Mystery
Like this and many others in the trees
Blow in the night
In the southern skies
Southern nights
They feel so good, it's frightening
Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
