The First Bird of Spring

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] Dew still clings to the top of the green branch A song suddenly breaks across the garden [Verse 1] The long winter made the heart think it's forever cold Bare branches waited through a whole season Yet the moment the bird lifted its song The snow melted, making room for the bud [Pre-Chorus] That song needed no words to sing Just enough to gently warm the heart [Chorus] first bird at break of spring Sings loud and melts the biting cold First bird at break of spring Announces that hope just opened its eyes [Verse 2] The nest up high begins to be built Small wings practice circling, unhurried I look up and smile to the rhythm For spring came without needing a promise [Chorus] first bird at break of spring Sings loud and melts the biting cold First bird at break of spring Announces that hope just opened its eyes [Bridge] Sometimes just a single flick of nature Is enough to light the heart again That little bird doesn't know what it did [Chorus] first bird at break of spring Sings loud and melts the biting cold First bird at break of spring Announces that hope just opened its eyes [Outro] The bird's song still hangs on the branch top Spring has come, no need to wait long [Fade Out] [End]
