ray charles - georgia on my mind

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I say Georgia, Georgia
A song for you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I say Georgia, oh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

oh oh oh oh, Georgia, Georgia
no peace, no piece I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
I say just a old sweet song
keeps georgia on my mind

ray charles - a fool for you

I know you told me
Such a long time ago
That you didn't want me
You didn't love me no more

I want to know
Oh, what makes me be
Do you believe me child
A fool for you
Ohoh, no, i'm a fool for you

I know you told me
You didn't want me `round
And i know
You got a man way `cross town

So i know it's something
Oh, what makes me be
Do you believe me child
I'm a fool for you
Ohoh, no, i'm a fool for you

Did ya ever wake up in the morning
Just about the break of day
Reach over and feel the pillow
Where your baby used to lay
Then you put on your crying
Like you never cried before
Oh lord
Yeah you even cry so loud,
You give the blues to your neighbor next door
Ever since you were five years old
I been a fool for you, little girl
Way down in my soul
I'm a little fool for ya

So i know it's something
Oh, oh, lord

ray charles - i can t stop loving you

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)

It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)
Those happy hours that we once knew

Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)

It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew

(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue

(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

ray charles - don t let the sun catch you crying

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done Daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
And baby, you made him so sore

You can cry, cry, cry
Yes baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done your Daddy dirty
I tell you, he just don't want you no more

Whoa, you know, you done me dirty now
And I just don't want you no more

ray charles - the most beautiful girl in the world

The most beautiful girl in the world picks my ties out
She eats my candy, she drinks my brandy
The most beautiful girl in the world
The most beautiful star in the world, 'tisn't Garbo
T'sn't Dietrich, but a sweet trick
Who can make me believe it's a beautiful world
Social? Not a bit! Natural kind of wit
She'd shine anywhere, and she hasn't got platinum hair
The most beautiful house in the world has a mortgage
What do I care? It's "Good-bye, care"
When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl in the world

Social? Not a bit! She's got a natural kind of wit.

When my slippers are next to the ones that belong
To the one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl
The one and only beautiful girl in the world

ray charles - together again

Together again
My tears have stopped fallin
The long lonely nights
Are now at an end
The key to my heart
You hold in your hand
And nothing else matters
We're together again

Together again
The grey skies are gone
You're back in my arms
Now where you belong
The love that we knew
Is living again
And nothing else matters, Baby
We're together again

Well, nothing else matters, Baby

ray charles - for mamma

She said "My Daughter, I beg of you
I have a wish that must come true
The last thing you can do for Mama
Please promise me that you will stay
And take my place while I'm away
And give the children love each day"
I had to cry, what could I say

How hard I tried to find a word
I prayed she wouldn't see me cry
Somuch to say that should be heard
But only time to say goodbye to Mama

They say in time that you forget
Yet still today my eyes are wet
I tell myself to smile for Mama
Now soon there'll be another spring
And I will start remembering
The way she loved to hear me sing
Her favourite song, Ave Maria

Ave Maria

The children have all grown up now
I've kept my promise to Mama
I cannot guide them anymore
I've done my best, all for Mama

Ave Maria

But still it seems so very small
For all she did for me

ray charles - hey girl

Hey girl, I want you to know
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
Hey girl, I'll tell you no lie
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye

Hey girl, this can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you?
Hey girl, don't put me on
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone?
How will I live, how can I go on?
How can I go on?

Hey girl, now sit yourself down
I'm not afraid to get down on the ground
And beg you, beg you to stay
Don't go away
Hey girl

ray charles - ain t gonna worry my mind

It's the same old story that they all hand me.
The Preacher tells me these are troubled times.
But I know the Lord's been in tougher scrapes then this one.
Ain't gonna worry, ain't gonna worry, ain't gonna worry my mind.

Got no money in the pocket.
You don't get rich working overtime.
But as long as you can't buy the springtime in Virginia.
I ain't gonna worry, No I ain't gonna worry,
Ain't gonna worry my mind.

That is all that ever makes you richer.
Oh well, if the truth be told,
Moonlight spins my only silver, and the sun is my only gold.
Oh ya.

So go on wishin',
go on prayin',
go on sayin',
I'll hit better times.

How in the world could you love me any better?
Ain't gonna worry, I tell ya.
I ain't gonna worry no more.
Ain't gonna worry my mind.

ray charles - bewitched

After one whole quart of brandy
Like a daisy, I'm awake
With no Bromo-Seltzer handy
I don't even shake
Men are not a new sensation
I've done pretty well I think
But this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I'm wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
When love came and told me, I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Lost my heart, but what of it
He is cold I agree
He can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh's on me
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And long, for the day when I'll cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
He's a fool and don't I know it
But a fool can have his charms
I'm in love and don't I show it
Like a babe in arms
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
I've sinned a lot, I'm mean a lot
But I'm like sweet seventeen a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
I'll sing to him, each spring to him
And worship the trousers that cling to him
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
When he talks, he is seeking
Words to get, off his chest
Horizontally speaking, he's at his very best
Vexed again, perplexed again
Thank God, I can be oversexed again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - am I
Wise at last, my eyes at last,
Are cutting you down to your size at last
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Burned a lot, but learned a lot
And now you are broke, so you earned a lot
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more
Couldn't eat, was dispeptic
Life was so hard to bear
Now my heart's antiseptic
Since you moved out of there
Romance, finis. Your chance, finis.
Those ants that invaded my pants, finis.
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered - no more

ray charles - i ll be good to you

I want to know, baby
Just how you feel, girl

ray charles - dream

Get in touch with that sundown fellow
As he tiptoes across the sand
He's got a million kinds of stardust
Pick your fav'rite brand, and
Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there
So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

Dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream
Dream
So dream, dream, dream
