Dreamin' by the fire at the Gulf of Mexico Somebody's playin' a lovesong With a six string homesick tone
Memories of summer the first time we made love And a promise left unspoken I saw in a shooting star
The Southern wind was blowin' as if he wants to say The words I whispered in my heart only yesterday
You're my only one - my risin' sun You're the air I wanna breathe Girl you're everything I need My shining star - that's what you are And as long my heart will beat You'll be everything - everything I need
The fire is still burning I was humming to the song Couldn't think of all the words so I made them up my own
Like a secret door that opens these words just set me free And the promise left unspoken was the owner of the key
Oh Southern wind keep blowin' please carry me back home There's somebody who is waiting and I've gotta let her know
You're my only one - my risin' sun You're the air I wanna breathe Girl you're everything I need My shining star - that's what you are And as long my heart will beat You'll be everything - everything I need
And when Southern Winds are blowin' they might even bring some rain But the promise left unspoken will always be the same
