Hi Lili, Hi Lo (for Ellaine) Lyrics - Bill Evans

On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love 

On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard 

Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love 

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo 

A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know 

A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so 

I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo 

Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo 

A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore 

A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree 

And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more
