Abbey Lincoln - First Song lyrics

When the stars were strung Was the first song that was sung Lightning up a world Made for a boy and girl And love was new As morning dew The first song that I knew Told of skies for ever blue Clouds that disappear My darling dear The first song I heard Was the warbling of a bird Sending around A soulful sound Deep as the sea Like you and me And it's always a song And the changes that belong Melodies that bring The first song we sing
