I Heard The Bluebirds Sing - Hugh P & Maria

BEAUTIFUL song. Father and Daughter Duet - from Ireland.

Lyrics

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 of blue mid 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'll ask her
Will her heart beat heart beat true for him for ever and ever more
And when she's lonely lonely is he near her
When there's 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 we would be wed
We planned on being married in the spring
All through the long cold winter months
It seemed like spring would never come
And every gloomy winter's day
I heard the Bluebirds sing.

They sang of waiting waiting for the flowers
And of counting counting every hour
Till the Bluebird Bluebird chirps his welcome
Into the world once more.

And though we're waiting waiting for the sunshine
We keep hating hating every storm cloud
That has gathered gathered over the mountains
To keep us far apart.

And when at last spring touched the earth
We were married in the village church
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true
Though many years have come and gone
Our love is still as true and strong
As when I found her long ago
And still the Bluebirds sing.

They sang of loving loving every hour
That I'm married married to my flower
We'll be happy happy ever after
As since the day we met.

And though we're older older love is sweeter
We grow fonder fonder of each other
We'll be sweethearts sweethearts close together
Until the end of time...
