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 could And 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 around Sweet 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 here I 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 be And 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 while Sweet 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 here Sweet Virginia, I still lay beside you And when you're dreaming that's really me Just know that I always will be here
