Little Bird

My little bird sits perched on a branch
Pulmonary artery, I didn't stand a chance
He sang a song that touched a memory
You and I were walking there in daytime reverie

My little bird flew high in blue skies
Weightless as my mind it felt when I looked in your eyes
He sang a song familiar to my heart
Beating wings to secret days your love had blown apart

Ooooh, sweet bird...
Ooooh, sweet bird...

My little bird has woven his nest
Earthen mass of twigs and grass the rainy days will test
He sings a song, the sweetest rock-a-bye
Baby, feel the branches sway and bring us through the night

Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird he fly so high)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird can touch the sky)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird he fly so high)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird can touch the sky)

You climbed down from the treetops and you hied to my side
You carried on your wing the book of life
I saw my name there written as you opened up the scroll
I saw that I would be a mother
And a wife

Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird

Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird he fly so high)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird can touch the sky)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird he fly so high)
Ooooh, sweet bird (Little bird can touch the sky)
