How many roses have faded and died, Virginia
|
How many tears since I've walked by your side, Virginia
|
Too many moonlights have come and gone
|
Too man sunups and too many sundowns
|
Too many teardrops and too many roses have died
|
|
I'm like I was, sad like the day we parted
|
I'm just the same, lonely and still broken-hearted
|
Maybe I'm older but nothing is changed
|
Love grows no colder, I still feel the same
|
Life has been empty, but I've learned to live it, Virginia
|
|
Oh, Virginia
|
When will I stop loving you, will it go on forever
|
Oh, Virginia
|
When will these dreams that I dream of you stop, maybe never
|
How many times when your vision appears
|
I've tried to hold you and you disappear
|
And I find that the arms that once held you are empty, Virginia
|
|
How many times have I seen in the sky, Virginia
|
One lonely dove as it goes flyin' by, Virginia
|
I'm like the dove as it flies through the blue
|
One mate it chooses, and if it should lose
|
It remains lonely, and that's how I'm livin', Virginia
|
|
Oh, Virginia
|
When will I stop loving you, will it go on forever
|
Oh, Virginia
|
When will these dreams that I dream of you stop, maybe never
|
How many times when your vision appears
|
I've tried to hold you and you disappear
|
And I find that the arms that once held you are empty, Virginia
|
