Meet The Bird That Still Sings To The Stars Mac OS

And the songbirds are singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I love you, Like never before. And I wish you all the love in the world, But most of all, I wish it from myself. And the songbirds keep singing, Like they know the score, And I love you, I love you, I.

  • Till the stars fall around me and find me alone When the sun comes a-singin’ I’ll still be waitin ‘For Jean, Jean, roses are red And all of the leaves have gone green While the hills are ablaze with the moon’s yellow haze Come into my arms, bonnie Jean. Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife; Without you I’d have had a lonely life.
  • Directed by Dave Fleischer, Seymour Kneitel. A destructive little boy with an air rifle shoots a baby bird and is mortified when the bird's parents, and all the other birds, go into mourning.

Summertime withers as the sun descends
He wants to kiss you, will you condescend?
Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
Under a fine canopy of lover's dust and humourous bones
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow
Eternity stinks, my darling, that's no joke
Don't waste your precious time pretending you're heartbroken
There will be tears and candles, pretty words to say
Spare me lily-white lily with the awful perfume of decay
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow
If I'm lost or I'm forgiven, the birds will still be singing
It's so hard to tear myself away
Even when you know it's over
It's too much to say
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow
If I'm lost or I'm forgiven, the birds will still be singing

For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I'll give the world
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing, like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you, like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself
And the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before, like never before
