Virgie
by Shawn Colvin
Here's a song called Virgie that I wrote for Aunt Virgie Haughs and I dedicate it to her husband, to her children and the countless people that loved her so much.
Virgie, your house was always warm,
and my bed was always ready when I came.
Virgie, in the middle of the night,
you would welcome friends of mine without a name.
and my bed was always ready when I came.
Virgie, in the middle of the night,
you would welcome friends of mine without a name.
And you could always hear and see,
the turning of the key,
and your laughing voice to me was like a song.
the turning of the key,
and your laughing voice to me was like a song.
Virgie, your spirit sweet and free,
is living still with me though you're gone
hmmmmm....
is living still with me though you're gone
hmmmmm....
Virgie, you spoke soflty and kind,
and you never said a word to critize,
Virgie your children love you so,
more that we ever let you realize
and you never said a word to critize,
Virgie your children love you so,
more that we ever let you realize
And they are all I knew
that i could bring my cares to you,
and when I was wrong you never put me down.
that i could bring my cares to you,
and when I was wrong you never put me down.
Virgie, there's so much I could say
but I can't find the way to write it down,
can't find the way to write it down...
hmmmmm.....
but I can't find the way to write it down,
can't find the way to write it down...
hmmmmm.....
