There's a hundred bluebirds
|
Up above the clouds
|
Putting all the color in the sky
|
And twice as many tear drops
|
there to wash it down
|
Every one's another lullaby
|
But there's only one and only
|
Who could go and leave me lonely
|
There's a world of trouble
|
Trying to take its turn
|
I can hear it shaking underground
|
And half a dozen lessons
|
I might never learn
|
Not until them troubles come around
|
But there's only one and only
|
Who could go and leave me lonely
|
There's a mile of blacktop
|
Where the road begins
|
It takes a time or two to recognize
|
Growing at the roadside
|
Scattered by the wind
|
Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes
|
But there's only one and only
|
Who could go and leave me lonely
|
You're the only one and only
|
Why'd you go and leave me lonely
|
