My Sweet Virginia

There was once a time that I could hold your gaze

Love like ours was, oh, oh, plain to see

But our time has worn away love's grace

Now it's mine to lose though you may leave

Here we are once again like before

I see, oh, you're headin' to the door

And I won't stop you anymore

My sweet Virginia

My Virginia

My sweet Virginia

My dear Virginia

We had met within the forest of redwood trees

Sleeping underneath a blanket of stars

Young, busted, and broke we didn't give a damn

Making love by neon lights and bars

Here we are once again like before

I see, oh, you're headin' to the door

And I won't stop you anymore

My sweet Virginia

My dear Virginia

My sweet Virginia

My dear Virginia

There was once a time that I could hold your gaze
