Bye Bye Blackbird Lyrics - The Nearness Of You - Helen Merrill

Blackbird, blackbird singing the blues all day 

Right outside of my door 

Blackbird, blackbird who do you sit and say 

There's no sunshine in store 

All through the winter you hung around 

Now I begin to feel homeward bound 

Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on my way 

Where there's sunshine galore 

Pack up all my care and woe 

Here I go, singing low 

Bye bye blackbird 

Where somebody waits for me 

Sugar's sweet, so is she 

Bye bye blackbird 

No one here can love and understand me 

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me 

Make my bed and light the light 

I'll arrive late tonight 

Blackbird, bye bye 

Bluebird bluebird calling me far away 

I've been longing for you 

Bluebird bluebird what do I hear you say 

Skies are turning to blue 

I'm like a flower that's fading here 

Where ev'ry hour is one long tear 

Bluebird bluebird this is my lucky day 

Now my dreams will come true 

Pack up all my care and woe 

Here I go, singing low 

Bye bye blackbird 

Where somebody waits for me 

Sugar's sweet, so is she 

Bye bye blackbird 

No one here can love and understand me 

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me 

Make my bed and light the light 

I'll arrive late tonight 

Blackbird, bye bye
