Lyrics
Verse 1:
When I think about you girl
And those nights in Matlacha
I never had a sweeter time
Even right up ?til today
We made some magic memories
Just you and I and that cool sea breeze
Chorus:
Floridian nights
Southern stars above the water
Floridian nights
And the magic in your eyes
Verse 2:
When I held your hand in mine
With the sand beneath our feet
The wind would whisper promises
That I always thought we?d keep
We made some magic memories
Just you and I and that cool sea breeze
Chorus:
Floridian nights
Southern stars above the water
Floridian nights
And the magic in your eyes
Bridge:
But then I slept in late one day
I opened up my eyes and you?d slipped away
You disappeared without a trace
But I just can?t forget your face
Chorus:
Floridian nights
Southern stars above the water
Floridian nights
And the magic in your eyes
Floridian nights
Southern stars above the water
Floridian nights
And the magic in your smile
