Dottie West Snowbird Lyrics

Snowbird Lyrics

Beneath that snowy mantle cold and clean



The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green



The snowbird sings the song he always sings



And he speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring



When I was young my heart was young then too



Anything that it would tell me that's the thing that I would do



But now I feel such emptiness within



For the thing that I want most in life's the thing that I can't win



Spread your tiny wings and fly away



And take the snow back with you where you found it on that day



The one I love forever is untrue



And if I could you know that I would fly away with you



[ guitar ]



The breeze along the river seems to say



He'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay



Little snowbird take me with you when you go



To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow



Yes spread your tiny wings...



Yes if I could you know that I would fly away with you
