When all my dreams
Are fallin' on stony ground
And I start wonderin'
Why I'm even around

Can't find the sunshine anywhere
Jessie puts her arms around me
And runs her fingers through my hair

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
Comin' down easy on a windowpane
Jessie sings warm as a late summer breeze
Hummin' some far away tune to the willow trees

And life is everything God meant it to be
When Jessie's singin' soft as
The Georgia rain to me

She calls me "angel"
And says let me dry your eyes
You mean by now
You still don't realize

That everything I want is what I got
So angel stop your thinkin'
'Bout all the things you're not

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
Comin' down easy on a windowpane
Jessie sings warm as a late summer breeze
Hummin' some far away tune to the willow trees

There was a trailer down by the sea
Down in Mexico
We dreamed a lot about it
But we never did go

Some dreams are better from afar
That's just how things are
And everything's alright
'Cause Jessie's singin' me to sleep tonight
Jessie's singin' me to sleep tonight

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
Comin' down easy on a windowpane
Jessie sings warm as a late summer breeze
Hummin' some far away tune to the willow trees
