Hear the children cryin' But I know they cry not in vain Now the times are changin' Love has come to bloom again Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops Reminds us of youthful days But now it's not rain that water the cane crops But the sweat

In a love song. What the singers all are singing 'Cause everybody's needing Why do people cry When they hear the word goodbye In a love song? Tears are sure to fall When you know they gave it all Somehow two lovers get a chance

Have you ever heard two turtle doves Bill and coo when they love? That's the kind of magic music we get from our lips When we kiss And there's a weepy old willow He really knows how to cry If you should tell me farewell and goodbye Lullaby of Birdland

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh They hear you when you cry This love is far and wide When you smile the stars align Flower of the universe And child of mine They come to see the fire burning In your heart
