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

For each night I stand with my father playing our music

We cry out her name and her memory under the lights

And each night I pray, I'll forget about Georgia

She′ll never love me like I know a 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 in a hotel in San Francisco

A night so perfect I try to forget about it now

And Ray Charles is singing her name like rain on my window

And I want to release her but I can't begin to know how

So I say Ray, let me forget about Georgia

Because she′ll never love me like I know a love's supposed to be

I say Ray, let me 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 meSpace (Interlude)

So I say Ray, let me forget about Georgia

Because she′ll never love me like I know a love's supposed to be

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

A part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
