The Brandenberger Family - I Heard The Bluebirds Sing

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 mid summer skies

And when I held her hand in mine

I heard the bluebirds sing

They sang of wondering (Wondering if he love her)

Will she marry? (Marry if he'll ask her)

Will her heart beat? (Heart beat true for him or for)

Them and ever more

And when she's lonely (Lonely is he 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 waiting (Waiting for the flowers)

And of counting (Counting every hour)

'Til the bluebird (Bluebird chirps his welcome)

Into the world once more

And while we're waiting (Waiting for the sunshine)

We keep hating (Hating every storm cloud)

That has gathered (Gathered o'er the mountains)

To keep us far apart.

And when at last spring touched the earth

We were married in our village church

Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true

So many years have come and gone

Our love is still as true and strong

As when I found her long ago

And still the bluebirds sing.

They sing of loving (Loving every hour)

That I'm married (Married to my flower)

And we're happy (Happy ever after)

As 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.

      Absolutely brilliant performance! Thank you folks for staying to the "old time" bluegrass music. What a fun sweet song!
