Little Blackbird, Little Blackbird
“Little Blackbird, Little Blackbird I see you watching me”
“Sitting in that little tree”
“Little Blackbird, Little Blackbird why don’t you fly away?”
“I see you up there in that little tree”
“Just sitting there everyday looking at me”
“I came outside so you could talk to me”
“Why Little Blackbird, are you so sad in the early spring?”
Little Blackbird he did look down at me
A tear in his eyes I did see
Words of sadness he did say
“I have lost my Little Dove”
“For she flew away and took my love”
“Said she found another”
“To make her nest above”
“Oh how sweet was my Little Dove”
“So here I sit in this little tree”
“Maybe she will come back to me”
His eyes cried more tears at me
“Don’t cry my Little Blackbird,”
“You can always talk to me”
“I know you’ll find another”
“To set your heart free”
“Then you’ll fly up high, into that big oak tree”
“And show your Little Dove”
“That you no longer grieve”
“Don’t sit there alone”
“In that little tree”
“Little Blackbird, fly away and be free”
“As you were meant to be”
“Life is too short for such a little one to grieve”
“Will you sing your love song for me”
“Little Blackbird, Little Blackbird, I see you watching me”
“Sitting in that little tree”
“Little blackbird, Little Blackbird why don’t you fly away?”
“I see you up there in that little tree”
“Just sitting there everyday looking at me”
“You may be small Little Blackbird”
“But the forest is big”
“So fly away Little Blackbird”
“Into that big old oak tree”
“There you will find another”
“When you sing that love song for me”
Little Blackbird he did fly away
Up into that big oak tree
A lovely song I heard, just as I
Was starting to leave
