Analysis of That Southern Bell
Southern woman
I saw you the other day
I saw your beauty
I saw the kindness in your eyes
Southern woman
In your hair I saw the light
In your face I saw love to give
I saw grace in your walk
Southern woman
I want to make you mine
I want to walk with you
In that southern moment
Southern woman
You took my breath away
Love at first sight
I'll never get back that day
Oh lady of the south
I want you as my bell
Why run away from it all
The stars know your name...
