I fell in love at a glance    Should've known I'd never have a chance    To be with you in the long run    You have a plan I am not in    You're gonna move up north to live again    Whenever school is over       So I have to let you go    But before you leave me here    There's something you should know       When the sun goes down in Georgia    I'll be driftin' back in time    Wishin' love could've changed your mind    And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees    I'll get lost in memories    Dreaming you are here with me    Oh it's sad but true    I'm just your love-sick fool    So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh    I'll be missin' you       I bet you never had a clue    But I'd do anything to be with you    I'd leave this place in a heartbeat    I'd move away from my sweet home    Just to be your faithful tag-along    I'd follow you forever       But if you're better left alone    I'll do my best to understand    Still my love will linger on       Cause when the sun goes down in Georgia    I'll be drifting back in time    Wishin' love could've changed your mind    And when the moonlight shines through the pine trees    I'll get lost in memories    Dreaming you are here with me    Oh it's sad but true    I'm just your love-sick fool    So when the sun goes down in Georgia, oh    I'll be missin' you       Oh it's sad but true    I'm just your love-sick fool    So when the sun goes down in Georgia    I'll be missin' you
