Today, my bird flew away
Gone to find her big blue jay
Star light, before she took flight
I sung a Lullaby of Birdland
Sang for my Ava every night
Ava was the morning
Now she’s gone
She’s reborn like Sarah Vaughn
In her sanctuary, she has found
Birds surround, her sweet sound
And Ava flies, in paradise
With dread, I woke in my bed
To shooting pains all in my head
Love bird, my beautiful bird
Spoke until one day she couldn’t be heard
She just stopped singin’
Ava was the morning
Now she’s gone
She’s reborn like Sarah Vaughn
In her sanctuary, she has found
Birds surround, her sweet sound
And Ava flies in paradise
