Good morning now little singing bird
It's been a while since your song's been heard
I've got your coffee and your breakfast made
I miss you so, I sure hope you can stay
I want to hear about the places you've been
The people you've met
Won't you tell me again
How you lost your way
And when you found the wind babe
I don't know what to say
I miss you when you're gone
I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone
Out there singing that traveling song
Spreading your wings just in time for Spring
I know it won't last long
I miss you when you're gone
Won't you tell me about the time back in Kathmandu
When they stole your purse, had to sell your shoes
Then you met a monk who had nothing left to lose
He was born in Mississippi at the bottom of the blues
Or that time that you set out
To slay the dragon in the woods
Turns out he's not so bad
Just a little misunderstood
On the curve of the earth
In the haze of the good wine
Tell me little bird
Was I ever on your mind?
Cause I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone
Out there singing that traveling song
Oh spreading your wings just in time for Spring
I know it won't last long
I miss you when you're gone
I hate it when you go but you know I'd never say so
Out there in the sky, am I ever on your mind love?
Cause I miss you when you're gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Oh spreading your wings just in time for Spring
I know it won't last long
I miss you when you're gone
Oh cutting a rug with those lighting bugs
I know it won't last long
I miss you when you're gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
I know it won't last long
But I miss you when you're gone
