My little bird up in the tree How beautiful you sing I make up my mind and I will wait Till she comes back to stay Oh little bird up in the tree Yes you sing so tenderly But tell me please when time is there That she is coming home to stay As I am walking down the lane I pass the same old tree And there you are, sweet little bird And sing your song to me Oh tell me please where can she be You know I need her can't you see Oh little bird up in the tree Please send her back to me to stay Oh little bird up in the tree Please send her home to me to stay
