Savannah

The sunlight came through the Spanish moss

Made diamonds in your hair

I held my breath but I knew at once

I didn't have a prayer

Silken blue-eyed angel please come down

I had to say

Just like a dream you turned and looked my way



Savannah

It's a paper moon that shines on you

Savannah ooh



All through the summer the heat poured down

The days so sweet and long

The nights we lay in your gentle world

I never did belong

We swore that love would lift us

Above the words we heard them say

We'd close our eyes and dream

We'd fly away



Sorry Savannah

It's a paper moon that shines on you

Savannah

Broke your heart in two



Seems like I keep to myself these days

My heart has gone to sleep

The moonlit road that we used to walk

Is just a dusty street

I can't forget the night we turned away

Without a sound

The walls they put between us

Won't come down



Sorry Savannah

It's a paper moon that shines on you

Savannah ooh

Savannah

It was just a wish that can't come true

Savannah

It's a paper moon
