Alabama - Old Flame Lyrics

Alabama - Old Flame Video

I saw you starin' at each other

I saw your eyes begin to glow

And I could tell you once were lovers

But you ain't hidin' nothin' that I don't know.

 

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes

That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer

Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

 

You said it ended when he left you

You say your love for me is strong

But those old memories still upset you

Well, I might be a memory before too long.

 

'Cause there's an old flame burnin' in your eyes

That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer

Than any spark I might have started in your eyes.

 

There's an old flame burnin' in your eyes

That tears can't drown and make-up can't disguise

Now that old flame might not be stronger

But it's been burnin' longer...

Alabama - High Cotton Lyrics

Alabama - High Cotton Video

We didn't know that times were lean

Round our house the grass was green

It didn't seem like things were all that bad

I bet we walked a thousand miles

Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows

And learnin' how to give it all we had.

 

As life went on and years went by

I saw the light in daddy's eyes

And felt the love in mama's hands

They kept us warm and kept us fed

Taught us how to look ahead

Now lookin' back, I understand.

 

Chorus:

We Were Walkin' in High Cotton

Old times there are not forgotten

Those fertile fields are never far away

We Were Walkin' in High Cotton

Old times there are not forgotten

Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

 

When Sunday mornings rolled around

We dressed up in hand-me downs

Just in time, to gather with the church

Sometimes I think how long it's been

And how it impressed me then

It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.

 

Chorus X2

 

We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.

Alabama - Close Enough To Perfect Lyrics

Alabama - Close Enough To Perfect Video

Sometimes her morning coffee's way too strong

And sometimes what she says, she says all wrong

But right or wrong, she's there beside me

Like only a friend would be

And that's close enough to perfect for me

 

Now she's been known to wear her pants too tight

And drinking puts her out just like a light

Heaven knows she's not an angel

But she'd really like to be

And that's close enough to perfect for me

 

She kisses me each morning, and smiles a sleepy smile

She doesn't have to say it, I can see it in her eyes

Don't you worry about my woman

Or what you think she ought to be

She's close enough to perfect for me

 

Sometimes she gets down and starts to cry

But then again the lady has the right

She's everything I've ever wanted

She's all I'll ever need

She's close enough to perfect for me

 

She kisses me each morning, and smiles a sleepy smile

She doesn't have to say it, I can see it in her eyes

Don't you worry about my woman

Or what you think she ought to be

She's close enough to perfect for me

Alabama - Take Me Down Lyrics

Alabama - Take Me Down Video

Fly away with me tonight

Take me on a one-way flight in your lovin' arms

And ev'rything's gonna be alright

You're the one who took my hand

When no one else could understand

You're the one who moves me

Like nobody else can.

 

Take me down where I wanna be

Turn around, this man who lives inside of me

Take me down and love me all night long

Hold me close and make me strong

Take me down, take me down tonight.

 

In your eyes I see a light

It's your emotions glowin' bright

So keep the fires burnin'

And let it warm me through the night.

You can be a part of me

'Cause you're what love was meant to be

You and me, baby

We'll set this flame inside free.

 

Take me down where I wanna be

Turn around, this man who lives inside of me

Take me down and love me all night long

Hold me close and make me strong

Take me down, take me down tonight.

 

You don't have to stay forever

Let's just put our hearts together

Share another night in ecstasy

We know that it's feelin' better

Ev'ry time we get together

Maybe love was meant for you and me

Whoa.

 

Take me down where I wanna be

Turn around, this man who lives inside of me

Take me down and love me all night long

Hold me close and make me strong

Take me down, take me down tonight.

 

Take me down tonight

Ooh oh, take me down tonight

Ooh oh, are you gonna take me, (take me)

Shake me, (shake me)

Take me down tonight.

Um hum

Take me, take me...

Alabama - The Closer You Get Lyrics

Alabama - The Closer You Get Video

(Mark Gray/James P. Pennington)

 

The closer you get, the further I fall

I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.

I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall

The closer you get, the further I fall.

 

The things that you say to me

The look on your face

Brings out the man in me

Do I see a trace in your eyes of love

 

The closer you get, (oh baby) the further I fall

I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.

I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall

The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall

 

Could I be dreamin'

Is this really real

'Cause there's something magic

The way that I feel in your arms tonight.

 

The closer you get, (oh yeah) the further I fall

I'll be over the edge now in no time at all.

I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall

The closer you get, (em hmm) the further I fall.

 

Keep fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, keep fallin',

Mm, fallin', oh, yeah, yeah, I'm fallin'.
