Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming
Heads all empty and I don't care
Saw my baby down by the river
Knew she'd have to come up soon for air

Sweet blossom come on under the willow
We can have high times if you abide
We can discover the wonders of nature
Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside

She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double
Pays my ticket when I speed

[Instrumental break]

She comes skimmin' through rays of violet
She can wade in a drop of dew
She don't come and I don't follow
Waits backstage while I sing to you

She can dance a Cajun rhythm
Jump like a willys in four wheel drive
She's my summer love for spring, fall and winter
She can make happy any man alive
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell
Or caught up in sunlight, now come on out singing
I'll walk you in the sunshine, ooh
Come on honey, come along with me

She's got everything delightful
She's got everything I need
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight
Lazing in the sunlight, yes indeed

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying
I take me out and I wander 'round
I wander 'round

[Instrumental break]

Sunshine daydream, walk you in the tall trees
Going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose
Now come on over sweety face
Ride our singin', I'll walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream
Sleeping through your daydream
Sunshine daydream, come along and daydream
Sunshine daydream, waiting in a cold stream
Going where the wind goes
Going, going where the wind goes
They never gonna miss us
I'll catch you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine daydream, sunshine daydream
Ooh, sweet morning dew
Ooh, come along and daydream
A sweet magnolia daydream
Sunshine daydream
Ooh, sunshine daydream
Ooh, sweet morning daydream
