Ev'ry time I hear a sweet bird singin'
I think of you and I, my dear,
I think of you and I.
When I hear the evenin' bells a ringin'
I hang my head and cry, my dear,
I hang my head and cry.
And they will ring,
And they will ring
When we are gone.
Ev'ry time I hear your soft voice hummin'
My heart jumps in my breast, my dear,
My heart jumps in my breast.
And until I hear your footsteps comin'
I sure can know no rest, my dear,
I sure can know no rest.
I will love you,
I will love you
When we are gone.
