Virgie

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 you could always hear and see, 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 are gone

Virgie, you spoke softly and kind

And you'd never say a word to criticize

Virgie, your children love you so

More than we ever let you realize

And day or night I knew that I could bring my cares to you

And when I was wrong, you'd 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
