Georgia on My Mind
Scott Hoying Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The whole day through (the whole day through)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said a Georgia, Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Still in the peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia, oh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Oh Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
Oh Georgia, Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Lyrics to Don't Go Now by Scott Hoying
I can feel how thigs are drifting
I can feel you fade away
Your arms don't seem to reach for me
like they did yesterday
I don't know if I'm the right one
But I know if I lost you
I'd be losing more than a heart out the door
And just remember you would too
Ref:
Don't go now
I can't take you leaving
Don't go now
I hope you're only teasing
My heart was never meant to leave in between the lost and found
So please don't go, don't o, don't go now
Well I know our days are numbered I can only count to two
I'm never been the best at seeing me without the you
I know you see me as the wrong one
But if I had just one more try
I would give you the world wrapped i diamonds and pearls
And a love that you won't recognized
Ref:
Don't go now
I can't take you leaving
Don't go now
I hope you're only teasing
My heart was never meant to leave in between the lost and found
Please don't go, don't o, don't go
I know I can make it so difficult somtimes
I really don't mean to make it so hard
But if you try to leave
There's no I'll do my best to close my eyes and try to forget
All of the heart break that you'll never see me
You don't
Ref:
Don't go now
I can't take you leaving
Don't go now
I hope you're only teasing
My heart was never meant to leave in between the lost and found
I promise I'll be better
That show me love this time aroud
Please don't go, don't go, don't go now
Don't
Don't go
