I met a girl out in the hills
Who gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring
And when I looked into her eyes
I thought of bluer summer skies
And when I held her hand in mine
I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering
Wondering if you love her
Will she marry
Marry if you ask her
Will her heartbeat
Heartbeat true for him
For then and evermore

And when she's lonely
Lonely he'll be near her
When there's sadness
Sadness will he cheer her
Will they always
Always be together
Until to death they part

I courted her for months on in
Until she promised me we'd wed
We planned on being married in the spring
All through the long cold winter months
It seemed that spring would never come
And then one gloomy winter day
I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of waiting
Waiting for these flowers
And of counting
Counting every hour
Till the bluebird
Bluebird gives his welcome
Into the world we're thrown

And though we're waiting
Waiting for the sunshine
We keep hating
Hating every storm cloud
God has gathered
Gathered o'er the mountains
To keep us far apart

And when at last spring touched the Earth
We married in the village church
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true
Though many years have come and gone
Our love is still as true and strong
As when I found her long ago
And still the bkuebirds sing

They sang of loving
Loving every hour
That I'm married
Married to my flower
We'll be happy
Happy ever after
As since the day we met

And though we're older
Older love is sweeter
We grow fonder
Fonder of each other
We'll be sweethearts
Sweethearts close together
Until the end of time
