lyrics

a blue bird sang
the sweetest song
from the morning
to the afternoon
I went up to see him
and found he was crying for you
what could I do

well, your love is like wine
and I'll drink all night
for the cold is a bitter blue

when evening fell
a pearl rose up
in the east sky
where it shone for you
the light in the window
was broken by blinds that you drew
what could I do

well, your love is like wine
and I'll drink all night
for the cold is a bitter blue

I called your name
my sweet Luann
but you were leaving
hell, you were gone
the children were playing
while father was praying for you
what could I do

well, your love is like wine
and I'll drink all night
for the cold is a bitter blue

a blue bird sang
the sweetest song
from the morning
to the afternoon
