Georgia On My Mind
The Starlite Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
I said Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia
Ooh Georgia, 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
Whoa, Georgia
Georgia
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind




I said just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Had this at my daughter Georgia’s funeral, used to play this to her in my belly and she would kick me so gently, I’m sure she knew it was her song. Such a beautiful song, sadly never thought the lyrics would now haunt me so beautifully. ‘other arms reach out to me, other eyes smile tenderly, still In peaceful dreams i see, a road leads back to you’ will treasure this song for always 👼🏻🤍
