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 many 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's 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 disappeared   And I find the arms that once held you are empty Virginia
