Nightjar and the nightingale I'm still awake because of you Well, I guess that's what her kisses do Oh-oh, we're sharing summer stories with the white-eyed moon And there are dreamers in those chestnut trees They sing to me life's mysteries Like the keepsake of those memories Oh-oh, of the long hot days and the honeybees Well, telltale nightingale You've seen it all, you sing it better than me You've seen it all, you sing it better than me ♪ Well, quick, somebody hold my glass I can't let it pass, it fades so fast And I just want today to last Oh-oh, and that surprising little spell she cast We walked a mile and sat a while In tawny grass and we just laughed And we listened to the summer birds Oh-oh, they always seem to find the words Well, telltale nightingale You've seen it all, you sing it better than me You've seen it all, you sing it better than me
