Cari Lacey - Sweet Virginia Lyrics

The light was dim
When I first saw your face
Tucked beneath a blanket so thin
The fog arose with the morning sunrise
Shining through
Appalachian limbs
Fresh water streams
Broken up by the green
Old brick red worn for a crown
Falling leaves gently held by the wind
Landing soft upon your ground
I love you sweet Virginia
You've been mighty kind to me
Your beauty effortlessly
Painted like a perfect dream
Drunk on your wine and autumn air
Rivers winding with no care
Whitetail dancing in the pines
You're a treasure of mine
You've always been one to work might and main
Sought to give all that you are
Your memories all etched out in stone
For a glimpse into your heart
So I often hoped I'd meet you someday
Never knew how or when
I'm sure amazed you were part of God's plan
For a girl from way out west
I love you sweet Virginia
You've been mighty kind to me
Your beauty effortlessly
Painted like a perfect dream
Drunk on your wine and autumn air
Rivers winding with no care
Whitetail dancing in the pines
You're a treasure of mine
How I could learn
From all that you've done
Providence course through your veins
A true delight
Now a place I call home
And a place I will stay
I love you sweet Virginia
You've been mighty kind to me
Your beauty effortlessly
Painted like a perfect dream
I love you sweet Virginia
You've been mighty kind to me
Your beauty effortlessly
Painted like a perfect dream
Drunk on your wine and autumn air
Rivers winding with no care
Whitetail dancing in the pines
You're a treasure of mine
Whitetail dancing in the pines
You're a treasure of mine
