Blue as the water, bright as the sky

Deep as the river, I get lost in those eyes

Just like the sun rising, the stars in the night

She shines through the dark and lights up my life.

Magnolias blooming in the soft, southern breeze

That bayou moon comin' up over the trees

Cypress wind singin' a sweet melody

My louisiana lady next to me.

The sound of her laughter, the way that she smiles

The touch of a woman with the heart of a child

When we're together, everything's alright

My arms around her, wrapped up in the night.

Magnolias blooming in the soft, southern breeze

That bayou moon comin' up over the trees

Cypress wind singin' a sweet melody

My louisiana lady next to me.

Magnolias blooming in the soft, southern breeze

That bayou moon comin' up over the trees

Cypress wind singin' a sweet melody

My louisiana lady, my louisiana lady

My louisiana lady next to me

Whoa, next to me, whoa...
