By Frank Perkins & Mitchell Parish 1934
The title was inspired by the famous Leonid meteor shower observed in Alabama in 1833, and was also used for a travelogue published the same year (coincidence?). First recorded by Guy Lombardo's orchestra, it has since become a jazz standard recorded by more than a hundred different artists. The tune is the anthem of Jacksonville State University in Alabama, and the title can now even be found on that state's license plates.
Lyrics:
We lived our little drama,
We kissed in a field of white,
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I can't forget the glamor,
Your eyes held a tender light,
While stars fell on Alabama
Last night
I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly.
A fairy land where no one else could enter,
And in the center, just you and me.
My heart beat like a hammer,
Arms wound around you tight,
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night.
