Laila Biali - Little Bird

My little bird stood perched on a branch
Pulmonary artery, I didn’t stand a chance
He sang a song that touched a memory
You and I were walking there in daytime reverie

My little bird flew high in blue skies
Weightless as my mind had felt when I looked in your eyes
He sang a song familiar to my heart
Beating wings, the secret things your love had blown apart

Oh, sweet bird
Oh, sweet bird

My little bird has woven his nest
Earthen mass of twigs and grass the rainy days will test
He sings a song, the sweetest rock-a-bye
Baby, feel the branches sway and bring us through the night

Oh, sweet bird (My little bird he flies so high)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird can touch the sky)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird he flies so high)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird can touch the sky)

You came down from the treetops and you hurried to my side
You carried on your wing the Book of Life
I saw my name there written as you opened up the scroll
I saw that I would be a mother and a wife

Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird
Little bird, little bird, little bird, little bird

Oh, sweet bird (My little bird he flies so high)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird can touch the sky)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird he flies so high)
Oh, sweet bird (My little bird can touch the sky)
