WHITE DOVE

Stanley Bros.

LISTEN TO CLIP

In the deep rolling hills of Virginia

There's a place I love so well

Where I spent many days of my childhood

In a cabin where we loved to dwell

White dove will mourn in sorrow

The willows will hang their heads

I'll live my life in sorrow

Since mother and daddy are dead

We were all so happy there together

In our peaceful little mountain home

But the Savior needs angels up in heaven

Now they sing around the great white throne

White dove will mourn in sorrow

The willows will hang their heads

I'll live my life in sorrow

Since mother and daddy are dead

As the years go by I often wonder

Will we all be together someday?

And at night as I wander through the graveyard

Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray

White dove will mourn in sorrow

The willows will hang their heads

I'll live my life in sorrow

Since mother and daddy are dead
