Sweet Augusta Darlin'
Vince Gill · These Days [2006]
She holds me when I'm sleepin'
She wakes me with a kiss
She is the only woman
My heart cannot resist.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
She whispers that she loves me
She knows I feel the same
I thank the Lord above me
When I hear her call my name.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
We'll praise this perfect union
We'll watch the years go by
We'll be such sweet companions
Until the end of time.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine...
She wakes me with a kiss
She is the only woman
My heart cannot resist.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
She whispers that she loves me
She knows I feel the same
I thank the Lord above me
When I hear her call my name.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
We'll praise this perfect union
We'll watch the years go by
We'll be such sweet companions
Until the end of time.
Chorus:
My sweet Augusta darlin'
Comes from those Georgia pines
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine.
My sweet Augusta darlin'
The one true love of mine...
