Marty Robbins Oh, Virginia lyrics

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