WHEN IT'S CHRISTMAS IN VIRGINIA

VERSE 1: WHEN THE SNOW FALLS IN VIRGINIA
YOU'LL BE FAR ACROSS THE SEA
I WISH YOU WERE WITH ME DARLING
HELPING DECORATE THE TREE
TO SEE THE HEMLOCK ON THE MOUNTAIN
THE SNOW COVERED VALLEY DOWN BELOW
WHEN IT'S CHRISTMAS IN VIRGINIA
LOVERS SHOULD NEVER BE ALONE

CHORUS: I CAN PAINT YOU A PERFECT PICTURE
OF A RED BIRD IN THE DOGWOOD BRINGING CHEER
THERE'S A CANDLE IN THE WINDOW
IT'S BEEN BURNING EVERY NIGHT FOR YOU DEAR
WHEN IT'S CHRISTMAS IN VIRGINIA
WE'LL BE WAITING WE'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU HERE

VERSE 2: PRECIOUS FACES OF THE CHILDREN
ROSY CHEEKS AND EYES AGLOW
THEY DON'T ASK FOR TOYS THIS CHRISTMAS
THEY JUST WANT THEIR DADDY TO COME HOME
TO BUILD A SNOWMAN IN THE BACK YARD
TO WIPE AWAY THEIR MOMMY'S TEARS
THEY WANT CHRISTMAS WITH THE FAMILY
TOGETHER IN VIRGINIA, THIS YEAR
