[Verse 1]
Little birdie, little birdie
Won't you sing to me your song?
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone

[Verse 2]
Little birdie, little birdie
Why do you fly so high?
Well, it's just there, my dear lovers
Up there waiting in the sky

[Verse 3]
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes your wing so blue?
Well, it's just there, that all grieving
That all grieving over you, oh

[Verse 4]
I'd rather be in this old darkness
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see you with another
And to know you'll never be mine

[Verse 5]
We'll fly down now
Little birdie, won't you sing to me your song?
Gotta sing now while we're together
I won't hear when I'm gone, oh
[Instrumental Outro]
