Goodbye Virginia 1915

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 Apr 2005

It seems her name was Virginia,
she was a Southern girl,
he said :"Virginia, I'll win ya,
and we'll live here in Virginia."
He saw a ring on her finger
just as he reached for her hand,
she said: "It's best not to linger."
He said: "I understand."

Goodbye Virginia,
I love the loveliness that's in ya,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful, beautiful eyes,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful,
beautiful skies and flowers,
It's no wonder I am weeping,
both Virginias are divine,
I couldn't get you,
so I must forget you, dear Virginia mine.

Goodbye Virginia,
I love the loveliness that's in ya,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful, beautiful eyes,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful,
beautiful skies and flowers,
It's no wonder I am weeping,
both Virginias are divine,
I couldn't get you,
so I must forget you, dear Virginia mine.

Vows are not made to be broken,
that's why they said goodbye,
although goodbye when it's spoken,
leaves many hearts sad and broken.
Although she'll never be near him,
since they both parted that day,
some how at times she can hear him,
he almost seems to say:

Goodbye Virginia,
I love the loveliness that's in ya,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful, beautiful eyes,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful,
beautiful skies and flowers,
It's no wonder I am weeping,
both Virginias are divine,
I couldn't get you,
so I must forget you, dear Virginia mine.

Goodbye Virginia,
I love the loveliness that's in ya,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful, beautiful eyes,
I'll miss Virginia's beautiful,
beautiful skies and flowers,
It's no wonder I am weeping,
both Virginias are divine,
I couldn't get you,
so I must forget you, dear Virginia mine.
