Magnolia Lyrics

Weekend in Charleston
Midnight in the sand
Dancin' in a white dress
Tremblin' through my hands
Talkin' over breakfast
I learned the hard way
If I wanted to be with you
I would have to wait
Three years later
And a million miles away
I still wanna wrap you in my arms
And see if you'll stay
And sit with me
In the top of a magnolia tree
Tell me all your secrets, Darlin'

Tell me that you'll stay
Watch your smile so big and blue
Won't you kiss me underneath the moon
I'm not leavin' Darlin'
I'm not goin' anywhere
Took you to my hometown
Drove you around Oxford Town
Dylan sang
And so did Lamontagne
Won't you sing and smile
Make me laugh
Oh, anything, just be yourself
Talk all day and tell me all your stories
While you sit with me
In the top of a magnolia tree
Tell me all your secrets, Darlin'
Tell me that you'll stay
Watch your smile so big and blue
Won't you kiss me underneath the moon
I'm not leaving, Darlin'
I'm not goin' anywhere
I drove you home on a long highway
You said you aren't sure
I'm not leavin'
'Til you kick me out the door
Go on home to Nashville, girl,
I will visit soon
And know I'm thinkin' about you
Wishin' that you were...
Come and sit with me
In the top of a magnolia tree
Tell me all your secrets, Darlin'
Tell me that you'll stay
Watch your smile so big and blue
Won't you kiss me underneath the moon
I'm not leaving, Darlin'
I'm not goin' anywhere
'Til you sit with me
In the top of a magnolia tree
