Story behind the song
My mother in law was tragically killed in the crosswalk of our home town. She was a beautiful person who was always thinking about others rather than herself. Many, many people were blessed to have her show up without notice to bring them a meal or one of the wonderful pies or cakes she baked. How we miss her!!
Lyrics
Sweet Virginia Words and Music Charlie Tipton ©2009 Sparkling eyes of azure blue Reached into the soul of you Loving hands that offered comfort Gentle voice that saw you through Oh she lived a sweet existence Flew away at His insistence But she still lives within the heart Of me and you Sweet Virginia Captured in our memory We see your smiling photograph Upon the bookshelf Oh, Virginia Like an angel flown away But forever in hearts Our sweet Virginia Cotton dust in her hair Told her sweat and toil down here Many hours of labor in the mill Still, she kept her childhood charm Sweetest granny, loving mom Sweet Virginia Youa€™re forever in our hearts Bridge: I can hear the angels singing As they welcomed you up there But even now your gentle spirit Lingers softly in the air
