I said, I saidI would bring you the day
Tied up in ribbons so it can't fly away
I said, I said, my love - let me bring you the day
I swore, I swore I would bring her a bloom
For every lonely night spent locked in her roo-o-o-o-oom
I said, I said, my love - let me bring you a bloom
:: She said, she said : "My love, we are not bowerbirds /
You needn't bring me a thing."
She said, she said : "My love, we are not bowerbirds /
So if you love me - sing."
My love took my hand and - called me a nightingale
I brought her melodies / always in minor keys
I said, I said, my love - let me sing you to sleep
She said, she said: "Love, what shall we do?"
We walked a mile or two / wearin' each others' shoes
I said "I would pray for you... I'll play for you, I'll play for keeps!"
:: She said, she said : "My love, we are not bowerbirds /
You needn't bring me a thing."
She said, she said : "My love, we are not bowerbirds /
So if you love me - sing."
(if you love me sing ...yeah, oh)
