Woke up one morning
Sleep still in my eyes
She left without warning
Reason or alibi
Barely knowing each other's names
We had left the crowded bar
For an unknown destination
Beneath a million stars

She gave meaning to those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night
I'll always remember those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night

From the start we knew each one's desires
Communication with no words
The sound of two hearts beating
Was all that was ever heard
The sky was never so beautiful
As it had seemed on the wonderous night
Two lovers sharing all that they could give
Beneath a Southern moonlit night

She gave meaning to those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night
I'll always remember those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night

Will she pass this way again
And lay down by my side
Her memory so clear to me
Each night I gaze up at those Southern Skies
Southern skies at night

She gave meaning to those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night
I'll always remember those
Southern skies at night southern skies at night
