lyrics

I have heard the lark so high at noon,
Heard his song up in the blue.
I have heard the blackbird pipe his note,
The thrush and the linnet too,
But there's none of them can sing so sweet, my singing bird as you,
Ooo ooo ooo oo
My singing bird as you

If I could lure my singing bird,
Down from his cozy nest,
If I could catch my singing bird,
I'd warm him at my breast.
For there's none of them can sing so sweet my singing bird as you,
Ooo ooo ooo oo
My singing bird as you

Oh I will climb the highest tree,
To hear that wild birds song
And I'll etch his tune upon my heart
For its there where it belongs
For there's none of them can sing so sweet my singing bird as you,
Ooo ooo ooo oo
My singing bird as you
