Little bird, you woke me up this morning I pulled back my curtains of white I searched the trees and the underbrush But you were nowhere in sight Little bird, I lie here and listen Won't you sing me your lover's song Cause when winter turns to spring, there's nothin' to do but sing And wait for someone to sing along Little bird, when you fall silent I fear that you have flown Now that I'm awake, please don't forsake me Take me as your own We'll fly off into the branches We'll build ourselves a nest We'll soar together over the treetops And come back home to rest Little bird, you wake up every morning The sunlight warms your wings Not just once but a thousand times over A lover's song you must sing Not just once but a thousand times over A lover's song you must sing
