The Birds Were Singing of You

The Birds Were Singing of You - The Carter Family

Last night the pale moon was shining

Last night when all was still

I was wandering alone in sadness

Out among the woodland hills

I heard the birds a-singing

Out among the trees and hills

And all the birds my darling

Were singing were singing of you

Were singing singing of you

Were singing were singing of you

And all the birds my darling

Were singing were singing of you

I think of you in the daytime

I dream of you by night

I wake and wish you was here love

And tears are blinding my sight

The flowers that slumber so sweetly

The stars are above the blue

Oh heaven itself my darling

Is thinking is thinking of you

Is thinking thinking of you

Is thinking thinking of you

Oh heaven itself my darling

Is thinking is thinking of you

I opened my windows so gently

Looked out on the dreaming dew

And all the world my darling

Was sighing was sighing for you

Was sighing sighing for you

Was sighing sighing for you

And all the world my darling

Was sighing was sighing for you
