Text

If you knew how I’m feeling,
You would return right away;
My lonely heart keeps appealing,
yearning for you ev’ry day,
(And saying:)

Georgia,
It’s you I’m all for,
My love dreams call for,
A girl like you;

Georgia,
All day I’m lonely,
It’s for you only,
That I’m so blue;

Never knew that peaches grew
As fair and sweet as you.
Life would be so heavenly,
If you felt like.I do;
Please try to Georgia,
That stars above you,
Know that I love you,
No one but you.
