The Birds Were Singing of You

Last night the pale moon was shining
Last night where 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 views
And all the birds my darling
Were singing were singing of you

Were singing were singing of you my love
Singing were singing of you
And all the birds my darling
Were singing were singing of you

I think of you in the daytime
Dream of you by night
I wake and I wish you were here love
And tears were clouding my sight

Those flowers that slumber so sweetly
The stars above the blue
Oh heaven itself my darling
Is thinking of you

Is thinking is thinking of you my love
Thinking is thinking of you
Heaven itself my darling
Is thinking is thinking of you

Yo di Ole Yo ti Yo de ey ti
Yo le yo ti Yo le ey ti

I open my window so gently
Look out on the dreamy view
The whole wide world my darling
Was sighing was sighing for you

Was sighing was sighing for you my love
Sighing was sighing for you
The whole wide world my darling
Was sighing for you
