Dottie West - Snowbird lyrics

Beneath that snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn gra** lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings the song he always sings And he speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring When I was young my heart was young then too Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you where you found it on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could you know that I would fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to say He'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay Little snowbird take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow Yes spread your tiny wings... Yes if I could you know that I would fly away with you
