Pretty Bird

[Verse 1]
In the springtime of my youth, when she came like a pretty bird
Whistling in the garden of my heart
Like two eggs in a basket spun from a pretty bird
I built her a love nest in my arms

[Chorus]
The pretty bird is softly singing
The roost, the crows high and low
She used the roost by the window
'Til the fateful day she had to go

[Verse 2]
It's the summer of my days, I have seen lots of pretty birds
But women were given wings to fly
Don't you think I've forgotten the sounds of the pretty birds
As dear as my mothеr's lullaby?

[Chorus]
The pretty bird is softly singing
The roost, thе crows high and low
She used the roost by the window
'Til the fateful day she had to go

[Verse 3]
In the winter of my life, when I walked past the pretty bird
If you see a twinkle in my eye
Don't you think I'm chasing after the pretty girls
I'm missing my birdy in the sky

[Chorus]
The pretty bird is softly singing
The roost, the crows high and low
She used the roost by the window
'Til the fateful day she had to go
'Til the fateful day she had to go
'Til the fateful day she had to go
