Blue as the water

Bright as the sky

Deep as the river

I get lost in those eyes

Just like the sun rising

The stars in the night

She shines through the dark and lights up my life

Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze

That bayou moon coming up over the trees

Cypress wind singing a sweet melody

My Louisiana lady next to me

The sound of her laughter

The way that she smiles

The touch of a woman

With the heart of a child

When we're together

Everything's all right

My arms around her, wrapped up in the night

Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze

That bayou moon coming up over the trees

Cypress wind singing a sweet melody

My Louisiana lady next to me

Magnolias blooming in the soft southern breeze

That bayou moon coming up over those trees

Cypress wind singing a sweet melody

My Louisiana lady

My Louisiana lady

My Louisiana lady

Next to me

Whoa-oh-oh

Next to me, whoa
