【舞动人生】 《Stars Fell On Alabama》慢步爵士走起！

"Stars Fell on Alabama" is a 1934 jazz standard composed by Frank Perkins with lyrics by Mitchell Parish.

The title of the song appears to have been borrowed from the title of the 1934 book of the same name by Carl Carmer.^[1] It refers to a spectacular occurrence of the Leonid meteor shower that had been observed in Alabama in November 1833, "the night the stars fell."^[2] As reported by the Florence Gazette: "[There were] thousands of luminous bodies shooting across the firmament in every direction. There was little wind and not a trace of clouds, and the meteors succeeded each other in quick succession."

Stars Fell On Alabama

Doris Day

 

We lived our little drama
We kissed in a field of white
Stars fell on Alabama last night
I can't forget the glamor
Your eyes held a tender light
And 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, dear

My heartbeat like a hammer
My arm wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night

A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center just you and me, dear
My heartbeat like a hammer
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama
Last night
