I once loved a bird and she taught me to sing
She looked in my eyes and saw they were green
Then she loved me so easy that they softly turned blue
What good is a love song if it’s nothing to you?
A family smolders, then dies like a fire
Mother looks weary and father seems tired
Their eyes tell a story that would break you in two
You’ll never get over what you never go through
All Your Wishes will all come true
If it makes you feel better then pray
Or stand on the roof and throw coins at the moon
It might be cheaper that way
Some people are good, some people are kind
Some people go hungry and don’t seem to mind
Their eyes tell a story that will break you in two
You can’t sing in Heaven if you can’t sing the blues
All Your Wishes will all come true
If it makes you feel better then pray
Or stand on the roof and throw coins at the moon
...it’s cheaper that way
I once had a bird and she taught me to sing
She looked in my eyes and saw they were green
Then she loved me so easy that they softly turned blue
What good is a love song if it’s nothing to you?
