I met a girl out in the hills that gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring
And when I looked into her eyes I thought it blue as summer skies
When I held her hand in mine I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of wondering (wondering if he loves her)
Will she marry (marry if you ask her)
Will her heart be (heart be true to him for) then and evermore
And when she's lonely (lonely is he near her)
When there's sadness (sadness will he cheer her)
Will they always (always be together) until the death we part
I courted her for months on end until she promised we would wed
Planned on being married in the spring
And through the long cold winter months,
It seemed that spring would never come
Every gloomy winter day I heard the bluebirds sing
They planned on waiting (waiting for the flowers)
And of counting (counting every hour)
Till the bluebirds (bluebirds sings his welcome)
Untill the world comes small
I will be waiting (waiting for the sunshine)
We keep hating (hating every storm cloud)
That has gathered (gathered o'er the mountains) to keep us far apart
And when at last spring touched the earth
We were married in the village church
Our wedding seems just like a dream come true
Though many years have come and gone
Our love is still as true and strong
As when I found her long ago and still the bluebirds sing
They sing of loving (loving every hour)
That I'm married (married to my flower)
And we're happy (happy ever after) as since the day we've met
And though we're older (older love is sweeter)
We grow fonder (fonder of each other)
We'll be sweethearts (sweethearts close together)
Until the end of time
