[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And each night I pray I'll forget about Georgia
'Cause 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
A part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
A part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
[Chorus]
So I say Ray, 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
A part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
A part of me hopes that she'll never forget about me
