[Verse 1]
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on
[Refrain]
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain
[Verse 2]
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passing by
[Refrain]
Laugh in the sunshine
Sing
Cry in the dark
Fly through the night
[Chorus]
Don't cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry anymore
La-la-la-la
Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind
La-la-la-la, la
[Verse 3]
All I know is something like a bird
Within her sang
All I know she sang a little while
And then flew on
[Refrain]
Tell me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't cry now
Don't you cry
Don't you cry anymore
La-la-la-la
Sleep in the stars
Don't you cry
Dry your eyes on the wind
La-la-la-la, la
[Verse 4]
If you hear that same sweet song again
Will you know why?
Anyone who sings a tune so sweet
Is passing by
[Outro]
Tеll me all that you know
I'll show you
Snow and rain
