Fly Little Bluebird

Poor little bluebird, in a pink cherry tree
Why are you looking so sorrowful at me
Is it because you're as lonely as I
No one to love you and no place to fly

Fly, little bluebird, fly away
        No need to linger, no need to stay
        Time you were leaving, time to take wings
        Up in the blue sky, your blue heart can sing

Flowers are blooming, on the green mountain side
Mybe I'll go there my sorrows to hide
Or should I stay here waiting so true
It wonders me greatly what I should do

* Refrain

Even a love nest in a pink cherry tree
Can't hold a wild heart that longs to be free
If I should leave here to see her today
Would she still love me or turn me away

* Refrain
