I met a girl out in the hills
Who gave my lonely heart a thrill
Her beauty seemed just
like a breath of spring
And when I looked into her eyes
I thought of blue of summer skies
And when I held her hand in mine
I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of wondering,
wondering if you love her
Will she marry, marry if you'll ask her
Will her heart be, heart be true for him for
But then and evermore,
and when she's lonely
Lonely, he'll be near her
When there's sadness
Sadness, will he cheer her?
Will they always
Always be together
Until in death they part
I courted her for months on end
Until she promised we would wed
We planned on being married in the spring
All through the long cold winter months
It seemed that spring would never come
And every gloomy winter day
I heard the bluebirds sing
They sang of waitin'
Waitin' for the flowers
And of countin'
Countin' every hour
Till the bluebird
Bluebird gives his welcome
Into the wild once more
And though we're waitin'
Waitin' for the sunshine
We keep hatin'
Hatin' every storm cloud
That has gathered
Gathered o 'er the mountains
To keep us far apart
And when the last spring
touched the earth
We were married in the village
Changed our wedding scene
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
I'm still in love
But sing this song of lovin'
Loving every hour
That I'm married
Married to my flower
We'll be happy
Happy ever after
But since the day we 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.
