Bird Song 150 bpm
VVC J VCJ
All I know is something like a bird within her sang, Don't cry now, All I know she sang and a little while and then flew off Don't you cry, Tell me all that you know, I'll show you Don't you cry anymore, la da da da snow and rain Sleep in the stars Don't you cry, When you hear that same sweet song again, will you know dry your eyes on the wind, why? la da da da Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passin' by Laugh in the sunshine, sing, cry in the dark fly through the night.
