On a starry night, down in Virginia
One night in Virginia, under a clear sky
I fell in love with a blue eyed girl
I fell in love with a girl with blue eyes
Her kiss was warm, her touch was tender
Her kiss and touch were gentle and loving
The sweetest one in all the world
She was the sweetest girl in the entire world
At night I dream about her
During the night, I dream of her
In my dreams, she holds me tight
In my dreams, she embraces me closely
and when the clouds roll in at twilight
As the clouds move in at dusk
I sit and dream of a starry night
I sit and dream of a night under the stars
Then one day down in Virginia
At some point in Virginia
My blue eyed girl she went away
The girl with blue eyes left me
I miss her love, I miss her Kisses
I miss her affection and her kisses
I'll always mourn that cloudy day
I'll always be sad about that day
Now if you're goooin' to Virginia
If you're going to Virginia
Don't be fooled by a blue eyed girl
Don't be deceived by a girl with blue eyes
A starry night could leave ya dreamin'
An evening under the stars could make you dream
Of the sweetest one in all the world
Of the sweetest girl in the entire world
