I Heard the Bluebirds Sing lyrics

I met a girl out in the hills

That gave my lonely heart a thrill

Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring

And when I looked into her eyes

I thought of blue as summer skies

When I held her hand in mine

I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wonderin'

(Wonderin' if he loves her)

Will she marry

(Marry if he asks her)?

Will her heart be

(heart be true for him for)

Then and evermore?

And when she's lonely

(Lonely, is he near her?)

When there's sadness

(Sadness, will he cheer her?)

Will they always

(Always be together)

Until in death they part?

I courted her for months on end

Until she promised we would wed

We planned on being married in the spring

And through the long, cold winter months

It seemed that spring would never come

And every gloomy winter day

I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of waiting

(Waiting for the flowers)

And of counting

(Counting every hour)

'Til the bluebird

(Bluebird chirps his welcome)

To the world once more

And while we're waiting

(Waiting for the sunshine)

We keep hating

(Hating every storm cloud)

That has gathered

(Gathered over the mountains)

To keep us far apart

And when at last

Spring touched the earth

We were married in the church

Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true

Though many years have come and gone,

Our love is still as true and strong

As when I found her long ago

And still the bluebirds sing

They sing of lovin'

(Lovin' every hour)

That I'm married

(Married to my flower)

And we're happy

(Happy ever after)

As since the day we met

And though we're older

(Older love is sweeter)

We grow fonder

(Fonder of each other)

We'll be sweethearts

(Sweethearts close together)

Until the end of time
