Savannah
Journey to Savannah: Embracing Love and Life's Precious Moments
Lyrics
I'm driving clear across the state of Georgia
I am traveling across the state of Georgia.
My mind running wild
My thoughts are unsettled and restless.
To pay my respects to a lady I've never met
I am going to show my respect to a woman I haven't met.
So I'm headed to Savannah again
I am on my way to Savannah once again.
Love is sure to come your way
Love will come to you eventually.
But you can't sit back and
Don't wait passively; actively engage in love.
Let it pass you by
Don't let opportunities for love pass you by.
Every perfect sunset fades so
Every perfect moment eventually fades.
Learn to love before you say goodbye
Learn to love before parting ways or saying goodbye.
Been playing phone tag with my brother in New Orleans
I've been playing phone tag with my brother in New Orleans.
We haven't spoken in a while
We haven't communicated for a while.
Sometimes he won't answer, but mostly I don't call
Sometimes he doesn't answer, and mostly I avoid calling him.
And that's the hardest part of all
Not reaching out is the most difficult part.
I see red and white azaleas in the sunlight
I observe red and white azaleas in the sunlight.
And I swear there's more to them than meets the eye
There's more to them than what is immediately apparent.
Cuz their colors all but disappear come midnight
Their vibrant colors fade away by midnight.
So learn to love before you say goodbye
Again, emphasizing the importance of love before parting.
I never said that I was good at this
I never claimed to be skilled at this (perhaps referring to love).
I never said that I was
Reiterating a lack of proficiency or expertise.
I see a couple holding hands and walking slowly
I witness a couple walking hand in hand under oak trees.
Under a canopy of oaks and Spanish moss
The setting is picturesque with oaks and Spanish moss.
Through the steamy Sunday morning air
It's a warm Sunday morning, and they walk slowly.
And I can't help but stare
I find myself captivated by the scene.
Cuz precious moments find you if you're patient
Precious moments come to those who are patient.
They'll flutter down just like a butterfly
They arrive like a butterfly and linger briefly.
And settle on your shoulder for one sweet moment
Such moments settle on you for a short, sweet time.
So learn to love before you say goodbye
Reiterating the theme of loving before saying goodbye.
Don't wait til it's too late
Advice not to delay expressing love until it's too late.
Learn to love before you say goodbye
Once again, stressing the importance of learning to love before parting ways.
