Patsy Cline

A namesake for Virginia where she was born and raised
She became known as Patsy and we became amazed

Since she was young she wowed the folks with her distinctive voice
It seems that she was born to sing,she didn't have a choice

When she went walking after midnight she took us along
Filled us with heartbreak when she fell to pieces in a song

Patsy sang of guardian angels,and being crazy in love
How could she know that far too soon she'd be called above

She survived a car wreck and still she continued to sing
Such a shining star she was with all the joy she'd bring

Then it happened on a stormy night in sixty three
Her plane crashed with no survivors near Nashville,Tennessee

Patsy was but thirty one when she lost her life there
Still,she's been an inspiration to singers everywhere

Gone but not forgotten,she's one of the best we've known
In heaven's band she sings now and she doesn't sing alone!
