[Verse]
While I was walking down the street
I saw a bird up in a tree
All alone in misery
Just like myself when he left me

[Refrain]
A lot of birds singing happy tunes
While I sit here, all alone
That little bird wouldn't sing a song
’Cause someone is far from home

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet little bird
Why don't you fly and look for your love?
Sweet, sweet little bird
Won't you also try to find him for me?

[Refrain]
A lot of birds singing happy tunes
While I sit here, all alone
That little bird wouldn’t sing a song
'Cause someone is far from home

[Chorus]
Sweet, sweet little bird
Why don't you fly and look for your love?
Sweet, sweet little bird
Won't you also try to find him for me?
[Refrain]
A lot of birds singing happy tunes
While I sit here, all alone
That little bird wouldn't sing a song
'Cause someone is far from home
