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
