Belle-Skinner original

lyrics

Little cuckoo bird
Why you sitting in the hollow tree?
While you’re singing in the ivy
Don’t forget about me.

Have you ever heard
What they say about the carefree?
Did you ever really care for me,
Little bird, high in your tree?

(ooh)
Little, little one
Only you know what I’m thinking of
I am dreaming of my one true love
When you open up and sing
And all the other birds
They don’t know, they don’t compare with the
Things that you know how to do, you see
Little bird, but do you see…

That my heart is breaking every time
I think of you leaving,
For the night’s are young
Winter’s come
Soon you’ll slip away
How I wish that I could keep you safe
Here in my arms, forevermore
But I know it can’t be so
I hate to see you go.

Little, little one
Only know one thing before you leave
You don’t know how you have cared for me
Every moment that you sing
And maybe someone new
Would be happy if they heard your song
But I pray that it won’t be long
‘Til you come back in the spring

(lala)
How I miss you more each passing breath
But I hope it won’t be long
‘Til you might come back to me
Sing sweetly.

(ooh)
Little cuckoo bird,
I’ll remember you—remember me,
Though I never could be carefree,
Don’t forget about me.
