I Heard The Bluebirds Sing ÷ Hod Pharis
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 them blue as summer skies,
And when I held her hand in mine, I heard the bluebirds sing.
They sang of wondering, wondering if you love her.
Will she marry, marry if you ask her?
Will her heart beat, heart beat true for him,
For then and evermore,
And when sheâs lonely, lonely when heâs near her,
When thereâs 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 weâd be 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,
Until the bluebirdâs, bluebirdâs chirp is welcomed,
Into the world once more,
And weâre still waiting, waiting for the sunshine,
We keep hating, hating every storm cloud
That has gathered, gathered oâer the mountains,
To keep us far apart.
And when at last Spring touched the earth, weâs married in the village church.
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true.
So many years have come and gone,
But still our love is true and strong
As when I found her long ago, and still the bluebirds sing.
They sing of loving, loving every hour
That Iâm married, married to my flower,
And weâll be happy, happy ever after,
As since the day we met.
Now weâre older, older love grows sweeter,
Weâll grow fonder, fonder of each other,
Weâll be sweethearts, sweethearts close together,
Until the end of time.
