Trent Willmon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But not my love for you
And I promised you nothing would keep 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
[Chorus:]
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 could be
And I made that breeze in the garden yesterday
Just to see you stop and smile
I know how you love the wind in your face
Besides I still need to touch you
Every once in a while
[Chorus]
Sweet Virginia, I still lay beside you
And when you're dreaming that's really me
Just know that I always will be...here
