The bird sings outside my piano Lark of sweet love singing low The more I play, the more he sings He lives right up there in the green tree Singing to me melodies And in return, I play for him I played him a song on my piano Well I played real good, I played what I could And in return, he sang for me He lives right there in the tree Giving me his melodies A bird sings outside my piano Well I played real good, I played what I could And in return, he sang for me He lives right there in the tree Giving me his melodies A bird sings outside my piano A bird sings outside my piano Lark of sweet love singing low He lives right there in the tree Singing the melodies The more I play, the more he sings The bird sings outside my piano
