Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge - I Heard the Bluebirds Sing lyrics

I met a girl down in the hills That gave my lonely heart a thrill Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring And when I looked into her eyes I thought it blue as a summer skies And when I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing They sang of wondering Wondering if you'll love her Will she marry, marry if you'll ask her? Will her heart be heart be true For him for then and evermore? And when she's lonely, lonely is he near her When there's sadness Sadness will her cheer her Will they always Always be together until the day they part? I courted her for months on end Until she promised we would wed We planned on being married in the spring All through the long cold winter months It seemed that spring would never come And every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing They sang of waiting, waiting for the flowers And of counting, counting every hour Till the bluebirds, till the bluebirds Chirps his welcome and tips the world each morn And though we've waiting for the sunshine We keep hating, hating every storm cloud That has gathered, gathered over the mountains To keep us for apart And when at last spring touched the earth We were married in the village church Our wedding seems just like a dream come true So many years have come and gone Our love is still as true and strong As when I found longer ago, till the bluebirds sing They sang of loving, loving every hour That I'm married married to my flower We'll be happy, happy ever after As since the day we've met And though we've older, older the love is sweeter We grow fonder, fonder to each other We'll be sweethearts, sweethearts Close together until the day of time
