Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
|
And that love was just a memory
|
But a nightingale
|
Followed me back home
|
Where my love was
|
Waiting there for me
|
|
I have lost my faith as lovers often do
|
When the storm clouds gather overhead
|
But a nightingale sang a note so true
|
That I knew IĄŻd lost my fear instead
|
|
And to think that I said
|
Love was for fools
|
And that time would never heal
|
These old wounds
|
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
|
|
In the twilight, he played a faithful true
|
I have heard the lark over the vale
|
And IĄŻve heard the lonesome whippoorwill
|
But the sweetest song is the nightingaleĄŻs
|
And I know IĄŻll never get my fill
|
|
And to think that I said love for fools and that time would never heal these old wounds
|
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
|
In the twilight, he played a faithful tune
|
