(...)well I sure as hell didn't love her this much when I met her
much as I was just captured again and again
she could turn her eyes away and still hold me under
a river of beauty and mystery pulling me in
and then when she told me her name, I knew I would die slowly
I knew I was destined to live with this pain every night
oh each night I stand with my father playing our music
we cry out her name and her memory under the light
and each night I pray I'll forget about georgia
cause she'll never love me like I know love's supposed to be
each night I pray I'll forget about Georgia
but a part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
oh, a part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
we made love for the first time at a hotel in San Franciso
a night so perfect I tried to forget about it now
oh Ray Charles is singing her name like rain on my window
I want to release her but I can't begin to know how
I say, Ray, let me forget about Georgia
cause she'll never love me like I know love's supposed to be
I say, Ray, let me forget about Georgia
but a part of me hopes she'll never forget about me
