Snowbird Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean 

The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green 

The snowbird sings the song he always sings 

And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring 

When I was young my heart was young then too 

Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do 

But now I feel such emptiness within 

For the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win 

Spread your tiny wings and fly away 

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day 

The one I love forever is untrue 

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you 

The breeze along the river seems to say 

That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay 

So little snowbird take me with you, when you go 

To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow

Spread your tiny wings and fly away 

And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day 

The one I love forever is untrue 

And if I could you know that I would fly away with you 

Yeah, if I could you know that I would fly away with you
