A lot has changed since I've been gone
But not my love for you
And I promised you nothing would keep me away
So I came back as fast as I couldAnd I still bump around this old house sometimes
But I barely make a sound
I sure have traveled a long, long way
Just to be hanging aroundSweet Virginia, I still lay beside you
And when you're dreaming that's really me
And if you feel something there in the darkness
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Just know that I always will be hereI didn't mean to give you a cold chill today
When you were holding that picture of me
But I saw your tears so I reached for your hand
Forgetting how cold mine can beAnd I made that breeze in the garden yesterday
Just to see you stop and smile
I know how you love the wind on your face
And besides I still need to touch you every once in a whileSweet Virginia, I still lay beside you
And when you're dreaming that's really me
And if you feel something there in the darkness
Don't be afraid of what you can't see
Just know that I always will be hereSweet Virginia, I still lay beside you
And when you're dreaming that's really me
Just know that I always will be here
