Marty Robbins - Oh, Virginia lyrics

rate me

How many roses have faded and died, Virginia<br />

How many tears since I've walked by your side, Virginia<br />

Too many moonlights have come and gone<br />

Too man sunups and too many sundowns<br />

Too many teardrops and too many roses have died<br />

<br />

I'm like I was, sad like the day we parted<br />

I'm just the same, lonely and still broken-hearted<br />

Maybe I'm older but nothing is changed<br />

Love grows no colder, I still feel the same<br />

Life has been empty, but I've learned to live it, Virginia<br />

<br />

Oh, Virginia<br />

When will I stop loving you, will it go on forever<br />

Oh, Virginia<br />

When will these dreams that I dream of you stop, maybe never<br />

How many times when your vision appears<br />

I've tried to hold you and you disappear<br />

And I find that the arms that once held you are empty, Virginia<br />

<br />

How many times have I seen in the sky, Virginia<br />

One lonely dove as it goes flyin' by, Virginia<br />

I'm like the dove as it flies through the blue<br />

One mate it chooses, and if it should lose<br />

It remains lonely, and that's how I'm livin', Virginia<br />

<br />

Oh, Virginia<br />

When will I stop loving you, will it go on forever<br />

Oh, Virginia<br />

When will these dreams that I dream of you stop, maybe never<br />

How many times when your vision appears<br />

I've tried to hold you and you disappear<br />

And I find that the arms that once held you are empty, Virginia
