I just saw a bluebird fly over And I could swear he looked straight down at me But I suppose he thought I was a brother And no wonder I'm as blue as any bluebird could be
I never thought bluebirds got up so early The sun's not up yet it's just breaking dawn I guess like me you been too busy weeping All sleeping and I just heard you sing the saddest song
Hey brother bluebird what are we gonna do We two of a kind both out of our minds From the hurt we're goin' through Would you trade your wings do anything to have her Cause you love her well brother bluebird you got company Hey wait for me oh brother bluebird you got company
