Lyrics I Heard the Bluebirds Sing - The Browns, Jim Ed Brown, Maxine Brown & Bonnie Brown

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 it blue as summer skies
And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of wondering, wondering if you'll love her
Will she marry, marry if you ask her
Will her heart be, heart be true for him for then and evermore
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 bluebird sing
They sang of waiting, waiting for the flowers
And of counting, counting every hour
Till the bluebird, bluebird chirps his welcome
Into the world once more
And though we're waiting, waiting for the sunshine
We keep hating, hating every storm cloud
That has gathered, gathered o'er the mountain
To keep us far apart
Instrumental
And when at last spring touched the earth
We were married in the village church
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true
So 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 sing
They sang of loving, loving every hour
That I'm married, married to my flower
We'll be happy, happy ever after
As 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.
