Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was such a fine spring day
Down Louisiana way
With fragrance divine, oh, baby
And such magnificent regalia
Oh, so fine
Azalea
[Verse 2]
Oh what a lovely sight
In red, pink and white
Can't help but believe
That nothing evil can assail you
So naive
Azalea
[Verse 3]
You're at ease on the knees
Of the moss covered trees
Whose tops meet to make a high ceiling
In the church like pomp
Of the cypress swamp
I've yet to get that same strange feeling
[Verse 4]
I've got to go back there
And find that blossom fair
I always dream of
'Cause with you who could be a failure?
My first love
Azalea
[Verse 5]
I've got to go back there
And find that blossom fair
I always dream of
'Cause with you who could be a failure?
My first love
Azalea
My first love
Azalea
Azalea
