Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone?
Little bird, oh little bird, it's been so long
Little bird, oh little bird, I miss your songs
Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone

Little bird, oh little bird, I remember when
you were a young pup, and I, a strange man
when we first met I knew you'd be my best friend
little bird, oh little bird, I remember when

Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone?
Little bird, oh little bird, it's been so long
Little bird, oh little bird, I miss your songs
Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone

Little bird, oh little bird, from the east to the west
from the north to the south, they all knew you were best
so many souls sad that you're now at rest
little bird, oh little bird, from the east to the west

Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone?
Little bird, oh little bird, it's been so long
Little bird, oh little bird, I miss your songs
Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone

Little bird, oh little bird, there's so much I miss
your soft fur, your gentle wet kiss
I'd break a thousand pencils trying to write that list
little bird, oh little bird, of all the things I miss

Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone?
Little bird, oh little bird, it's been so long
Little bird, oh little bird, I miss your songs
Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone

Little bird, oh little bird, theres tears in my eyes
you visit my dreams, comfort me during my cries
with a heart full of sorrow, I sing my goodbyes
Little bird oh little bird, with tears in my eyes

Little bird, oh little bird, where have you gone?
Little bird, oh little bird, it's been so long
Little bird, oh little bird, now I sing your songs
Little bird, oh little bird, I wish you weren't gone
Little bird, oh little bird, I'll keep your memory strong
