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 bluer summer skies
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering   wondering if he loves her
Will she marry            marry if he'll ask her
Will her heart beat       heart beat true for him for
Then 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 wed
We planned on being married in the spring
All through the long cold winter months, it seemed that spring would never come
And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of waiting    waiting for the flowers
And of counting         counting every hour
'Til the bluebird         bluebird chirps it's welcome
Into the world once more
And while we're waiting   waiting for the sunshine
We keep hating         hating every storm cloud
That has gathered       gathered o'er the mountains
To keep us far apart

Then when at last spring touched the earth, we 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 sang


They sang of loving       loving every hour
That I married            married to my flower
And we're happy         happy ever after
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
