lyrics

A Little Bird Told Me

From Bonnie ol’ England, she sailed ‘cross the ocean
A small boy in tow, to shores still unknown
There she saw new faces, they spoke the same language
But sounded so different, she felt so alone

Over time she got used to, new customs, expressions
Her new country started, to feel like home
But one thing was missing, so she kept wishing
Then one lucky day, she fell in love

The lovely Lake District, remained in her thoughts
The voyage to get here, engraved in her heart
But today, we celebrate, glad you came all this way
Happy birthday to you

They got an apartment, then they got a house
They moved to the country, then moved back to town
The years went by fast, though some days were long
The children grew up, and the grandkids were born

Her family grew, and filled up her heart
Though all of them lived, some distance apart
But today, hooray, we send our love your way
Happy birthday to you

Open the window first thing in the morning
Listen to all the birds sing
They carry a message down from up high
Amy and John say hi…

Then came the time to settle down
They found a sweet house on the outskirts of town
They travelled to countries they used to just dream of
As those little birds smiled down from above

Over the years there were smiles and joys
And tears and fears, but oh, my dear
Not today, today is your day, you’ve made it all this way
Happy birthday to you
