Nursery Rhyme

Long ago, I was out on my own
When someone told me all about a nightingale
And I knew, yes I knew somehow the story was true
And I swore before I die I'd hear her song

Far away, 'cross the mountains and seas
I went wandering searching for the nightingale
And one day, yes one day I found her singing alone
And I drew softly near her to hear her song

I'm so glad I've been waiting for you
Such a long time, sweetly sang the nightingale
I saw you, I saw you 'cross the mountains and seas
And I knew how you were longing to hear my song
