I remember back a long time ago, in the
days of my childhood. In the evening when the sun was sinking
low, walking in the wildwood. Skippin' and flippin' through the
flowers, we'd go hand in hand. Looking back on all the happy
hours, anyone could understand,
(chorus) you and me, babe. Sure
'nuff got to be, babe, birds of a feather. We should be together like
birds of a feather. Got to be together like birds of a
feather.
You and I didn't have a lot of friends, didn't have too much
to say. So they never would let us join in, all the games they used to
play. Seems like it was only yesterday, down at Lincoln Junior High. I
remember what the kids used to say, as we'd go strolling
by,
(chorus)
Time goes rolling by. They say that you and I
must go our separate ways. But birds of a feather will always be
together.
Your folks didn't want me hanging 'round. Said that I was
bad for you. So we'd meet on the other side of town, down a long dark
avenue. But they can't keep the two of us apart, as long as you really
love me, I got a feeling way down in my heart, that's the way it's gonna
be,
