Bama or BAMA may refer to:
The University of Alabama (Alabama or UA) is a public research university located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, United States, and the flagship of the University of Alabama System. Founded in 1831, UA is one of the oldest and the largest of the universities in Alabama. UA offers programs of study in 13 academic divisions leading to bachelor's, master's, Education Specialist, and doctoral degrees. The only publicly supported law school in the state is at UA. Other academic programs unavailable elsewhere in Alabama include doctoral programs in anthropology, communication and information sciences, metallurgical engineering, music, Romance languages, and social work.
As one of the first public universities established in the early 19th century southwestern frontier of the United States, the University of Alabama has left a vast cultural imprint on the state, region and nation over the past two centuries. The school was a center of activity during the American Civil War and the African-American Civil Rights Movement. The University of Alabama varsity football program (nicknamed the Crimson Tide), which was inaugurated in 1892, ranks as one of 10 winningest programs in US history. In a 1913 speech then-president George H. Denny extolled the university as the "capstone of the public school system in the state [of Alabama]," lending the university its current nickname, The Capstone. The University of Alabama has consistently been ranked as one of the top 50 public universities in the nation by the U.S. News & World Report. The University of Alabama is consistently recognized as having one of the most beautiful college campuses in America.
Bama is the official state soil of Alabama.
The Professional Soil Classifiers Association of Alabama adopted a resolution at its 1996 annual meeting recommending the Bama Soil Series as the state soil. The association is composed of a group of soil classifiers representing the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Alabama A&M University, private soil consultants, the Board of Registration for Professional Soil Classifiers, and the Alabama Department of Public Health. The Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee and the Alabama Association of Conservation Districts also joined in recommending the Bama Soil Series as the official State Soil. The Bama series was designated the official state soil by the Alabama Legislature on April 22, 1997.
Bama soils are mainly in level to gently sloping areas on high stream terraces paralleling major river systems and on broad marine terraces. These very deep, well-drained, moderately permeable soils formed in thick deposits of loamy fluvial or marine sediments. These soils make up more than 360,000 acres (1,500 km2), mainly in the western and central parts of Alabama. They occur in 26 counties. These soils are well suited to cultivated crops, pasture, hay, woodland, and most urban land uses. Cotton and corn are the main cultivated crops.
You will always be the one that I adore,
Mean so much to me, but dreams you were before,
Its you Emily that makes me write this song,
Your eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you, seems so old to me,
Now I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
You don't know how much I care,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
I longing to hold you, feel you in my arms,
Never let you go, far from me for long,
Girl I promise you, my feelings are so strong,
Eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you seems so old to me,
When I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
If only you could read what's on my mind,
See right thorough my eyes,
You sooner realize,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
