Bluebird

I heard you were cute as a button
When you came all the sudden
On an April day
How the ice gave way
And spring was never the same
When you smiled and you tamed her
Brought her to her knees
Had her begging please

Blue eyed bluebird
Welcome to this new world

You learned to walk you learned to sing
And collect secret things in your magic box
Mermaid tears and treasure rocks
And your pants are never long enough
By the time I came along
Into this dream you cast
You were growing fast

Blue-eyed bluebird
This is such a new world to me

Of all the plans we make
All the chances we take
This was no mistake
Though I haven’t been here from the start
Still you stole my heart

And now you tell me all your worries
And you write me all those stories
You let me know when I am wrong
Learn the words to all my songs
And your mom and I will marry
It will be just like a fairytale
But not the Cinderella kind
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
And we’ll learn to share in time

Of all the plans we make
All the chances we take
This was no mistake
Though I haven’t been here from the start
Still you stole my heart
My little bluebird
Our little bluebird
Sweet little bluebird
