The Burns Sisters - Savannah lyrics

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
