1
We met when you were still a girl
2
In nineteen sixty eight
3
You wore a white dress and a hat
4
I touched the hand of fate
5
Your sweet voice took my breath away
6
Your smile lit up your face
7
You still had both feet on the ground
8
I was out in space
9
That certain sadness in your eyes
10
The secret of your smile
11
I've carried all these memories
12
Down many's the weary mile
13
And every time I hear your name
14
My eyes moist up with tears
15
As every word you ever sang
16
Comes ringing down the years.
17
We sat and talked the whole night long
18
Of all our rights and wrongs
19
Of mutual acquaintances
20
We sang each other's song
21
You were with me when the morning broke
22
The birds refused to sing
23
They knew when they were beaten
24
They hid beneath their wings.
25
I was in a cleveland hotel room
26
When they telephoned the news
27
I drowned my sorrow all night long
28
The southern comfort blues
29
The show went on to great applause
30
Choking back the tears
31
As every word you ever sang
32
Came ringing down the years.
33
I reached out for the hourglass
34
To turn it face about
35
But who knows where the time goes
36
When your time is running out
37
I know someday we'll meet again
38
And I know just what I'll find
39
You'll have taught the angels how to sing
40
Georgia - georgia on my mind.
