It was such a fine spring day
Down Lou´siana way
With fragrance divine
And such magnificent regalia
Oh, so fine

Azalea

Oh what a lovely sight
In red, pink and white
Can´t help but believe
That nothing evil can assail you
So naïve
Azalea

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

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
