Stars Fell on Alabama
Trombonist Jack Teagarden is associated with this tune for me because he sang and played it on the second LP that I bought in my life, “The King of the Blues Trombon” volume two.
There are recordings of it by many, and today I just had to make my own version so it hopefully will not be forgotten.
We lived our little drama,
we kissed in a field of white,
and stars fell on Alabama last night,
I can't forget the glamour,
your eyes held a tender light,
and 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, dear.
My heart beat like a hammer,
my arms wound around you tight,
and stars fell on Alabama last night.
