lyrics

Today I played a song for little girl
She was singing blackbird oh so sweet
With the same golden tone & ringlet curls
Reminded me of you
You were once innocent and filled with dreams
Filled with happy endings and joyful screams
And it swallows me up to think this little girl shares your destiny
CH: And she reminds me of how I used to be
Strumming the same chords in the same company
All that time we spent
Only to forget
And say we were young once….
(And say we were young once 2ND TIME ROUND)
BREAK (cello intro)

Ever so brightly her eyes do beam
Pure flowing water through an endless stream
And all the pretty colours of the rainbow
Turn to a bitter red
Casually walking down the street
To a corner where they did meet
And now the sentence is complete
But still doesn’t bring you back
REPEAT CHORUS (repeated twice)
(Backing vocal
These birds of colour and of light
Oh how they fly so high x 2)

Now these days she just sits and stares
Burnt out candles and old rocking chairs
And remembering love she once had
And all that life would bring
Seems all I feared would come true
Its staring right back at me and into you
When did her rainbow become so blue
And memories fade to white
CHORUS x 2 (young….. on first one)
