If the song of the songbird
Could replace my wrong word
Then my dear, that's the song I would borrow

CHORUS:
& tonight you would hear
The saddest song of the year
& you'd be mine once again come tomorrow

If the song of the swallow
Could reveal my sorrow
Then my dear, he would sing just for you

(chorus)

Just tonight, while in flight
On your windowsill daylight
To tell you all of my tears

(chorus)

(repeat verse 2)

(chorus twice)

Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, Mr. Songbird
Come on & sing just one, little swallow
& make her mine once again come tomorrow
