Lyrics
I MET A GIRL OUT IN THE HILLS WHO 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 BLUEST SUMMER SKIES AND WHEN I HELD HER HAND IN MINE I HEARD THE BLUEBIRDS SING THE SANG OF WONDERING……, WONDERING IF HE LOVES HER WILL SHE MARRY….., MARRY IF HE’LL ASK HER WILL HER HEART BEAT…… HEART BEAT TRUE FOR HIM FOR THEN AND EVER MORE 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 ALL 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 ITS WELCOME INTO THE WORLD ONCE MORE AND THOUGH WE’RE WAITING….. WAITING FOR THE SUNSHINE WE KEEP HATING…. HATING EVERY STORM CLOUD THAT HAS GATHERED…. GATHERED OVER THE MOUNTAIN TO KEEP US FAR APART (SOLO – guitar, fiddle) AND WHEN AT LAST SPRING TOUCHED THE EARTH WE WERE MARRIED IN THE VILLAGE CHURCH OUR WEDDING SEEMED JUST LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE SO 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 SANG OF LOVING…… LOVING EVERY HOUR THAT I’M MARRIED….. MARRIED TO MY FLOWER WE’LL BE 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
