Virginia is for Lovers

Virginia is for lovers said the sign

And even though we were just passing through,

My good wife and I inside the state line,

Said, "What the heck, let's find out if it's true."

 

Now we've been married what seems forever,

Complacent and comfortable in our roles;

And romance well, I shouldn't say, "Never,"

But in our fabric truly there's been holes.

 

So to Jamestown on to Virginia Beach,

A bit of history to the present day;

Like our life the two of us, side by each;

Through thick and thin together come what may.

 

Perhaps at times we've taken for granted

Our years together now fading from view;

But the truth to tell she's all I've wanted,

And Virginia's for lovers, I now know it's true.

 

Yes, a hotel in Richmond changed it all

Such renewed passion the old wife and me;

And feeling like Traveller sixteen hands tall,

I rode 'neath a photo of Robert E. Lee.
