The Birds Were Singing of You

[Verse 1] Last night the pale moon was shining Last night when all was still I was wandering alone in sadness Out among the woodland hills I heard the birds a-singing Out among the trees and hills And all the birds, my darling Were singing, were singing of you [Chorus] Were singing, singing of you (my love) Were singing, were singing of you And all the birds, my darling Were singing, were singing of you [Verse 2] I think of you in the daytime I dream of you by night I wake and wish you was here, love And tears are blinding my sight The flowers that slumber so sweetly The stars are above the blue Oh, heaven itself, my darling Is thinking, is thinking of you [Chorus] [Verse 3] I opened my windows so gently Looked out on the dreaming dew And all the world, my darling Was sighing, was sighing for you [Chorus]
