old in the way - white dove lyrics
in the deep rolling hills of old virginia
there’s a place i love so well (note 1)
where i spent many days of my childhood
in the cabin where we loved to dwell
chorus
white dove will mourn in sorrow
the willow(s) will hang their head
i live my life in sorrow
since mother and daddy are dead
we were all so happy there together
in our peaceful little country home (note 2)
but the saviour needs angels up in heaven (note 3)
now they sing around the great white throne
[chorus]
as the years roll by i often wonder
will we all meet together someday (note 4)
and each night as i wander through the graveyard (note 5)
darkness finds me where i kneel to pray
[chorus]
