Uncle Earl
The Birds Were Singing of You
Last night the pale moon was shining
Last when 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 view
And all the birds, my darling
Were singing, were singing of you

Were singing, were singing of you (my love)
Were singing, were singing of you
And all the birds, my darling
Were singing, were singing of you

I think of you in the daytime
I dream of you by night
I wake and I wish you were here, love
And tears are 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
I opened my window so gently
Looked 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, was sighing for you
