Savannah

Savannah must be somewhere close to Heaven
That's where I heard he went that night
Did he have a final word
before he took off like a bird?
Shooting star, an angel taking flight

Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Warm wind blowing through the trees
Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Won't you send my lover home to me?

Savannah is way down in the South land
Where the wild birds sing the whole night through
It never gets too cold, at least that's what I'm told
And the air is sweet when the peaches are in bloom

Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Warm wind blowing through the trees
Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Won't you send my lover home to me?

Savannah must be somewhere close to Heaven
And just as far away from me tonight
The snow is still falling on this Northern country town
And I don't have my love to hold me tight

Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Warm wind blowing through the trees
Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Won't you send my lover home to me?

Oh, Savannah
Savannah
Long river flowing to the sea
Oh, Savannah
Savannah
You took my man, you can't take his memory

His eyes were the color
Of an endless Georgia sky
What I'd give to have him here with me
And I'm as blue as I can be
