Lyrics: 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
