I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia

Well, her lips were as warm as that wet southern night
Her eyes were as black as the sky
And I wondered aloud just what I done right
As I lay there with her by my side

Then she took hold of my hand as she looked up at me
And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"
And there in the moonlight as I watched her leave
I felt a chill down inside, oh

Magnolia
I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world
She's forgotten me but I remember her
Magnolia

Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
Oh, I remember the smell of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
