lyrics

SPARROWS

I love to hear the sparrows sing, at the dawning of the day,
In the lilac bush outside our room, where the fragrant blossoms sway.
The cooling breeze that sweeps in all the freshness of the dew,
Caresses every waking thought, together here with you.

I feel you breathe so gently now, and the softness of your skin.
The room awash with golden light as the morning filters in.
Rainbows dance above us, from the angel on the glass.
Her crystal orb refracting sun rays as they pass.

And the sparrows sing their song of joy at the coming of the dawn.
The little guys with the great big hearts serenade the lawn.
As flowers turn towards the rising sun I love to turn to you.
'Cause my heart sings a sparrow song lying next to you.

I love to hear the sparrows sing at the dawning of the day,
In the lilac bush outside our room, where the fragrant blossoms sway.
The cooling breeze that sweeps in all the freshness of the dew,
Caresses every waking thought together here with you.
Together. Together, here with you.
