Georgia Memories

It was a sultry night in Georgia

I heard the mournful sound of a train whistle blowin.

So I made my way down Main street

To a little sidewalk cafe, where the coffee was flowin.

There sat a man and woman, holding each other hands

The same thing you and I once did, before you had to die.

I remembered the last time that I held your hands.

It was to kiss you and say goodbye.


On that sultry night in Georgia

Where the train whistle was once a blowin

I had to take my coffee to go

Before my tears began a flowin.


Though love has found me once again

No one could ever take your place.

My Georgia Memories bring a smile to my heart.

Sometimes they bring a tear to my face.
