I've heard she's gone to Georgia
Gone, Lord, as I've feared
And the love that I never knew
Is now no longer near

Just like a rose
I watched her fade from view
And the thorns, they cut so deep
They've cut my heart in two

Now I sit here patiently
As the days slip slowly by
I still question why she's gone
Still don"t know the reason why

Maybe I'm a fool
To hang on to this dream
I thought there was so much more to us
Much more than it now seems

But now I've heard she's gone to Georgia
Gone, Lord, as I've feared
And the love that I never knew
Is now no longer near

Just like a rose
I watched her fade from view
And the thorns, they cut so deep
They've cut my heart in two

I've heard she's gone to Georgia
Gone, Lord, as I've feared
And the love that I never knew
Is now no longer near

lost in thought, found in words.

The repetitiveness of your words seem to emphasize your deep longing.  I really liked how you wrote this and I do hope your dream comes true.....
