Magnolia Blue

I've got magnolias on my mind They are the first to bloom in spring But in the fall they're first to die Got petals in a star upon my arm Bluer than your eyes but they've been Fading every day since you've been gone There's pink, there's white There's wrong and there's right There were purple, it's true But I went and chose you We had it all, oh baby when I couldn't hold ya I could have told ya They're the first ones to fade in the fall Now I'm waiting for the clocks to change And time is telling me to forget I ever knew your name The lines are growing paler round the flower that was you Magnolia Blue There's a magnolia in my heart Bluer than the sky but it's been Fading every day we've been apart There's pink and there's white There's day and there's night There were yellow ones too But I went and chose blue We had it all, oh babe put your head on my shoulder I wanna hold ya So tight not a petal will fall There signs of winter folding up it's wings And time is telling me to forget I ever knew your name And I'm still waiting for my phone to ring hoping it's you Magnolia Blue Who said April was the cruelest month of all? They never saw magnolias in the fall They never sat here waiting for your call In the fall they're first to die But when the winter turns to spring They're the first to bloom and come alive, alive Don't you know I wanna hold you Put your head on my shoulder My sweet Magnolia Blue
