Beneath its snowy mantle cold and free, The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green. The snowbird sings a song he always sings, And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring. When I was young,my heart was young then ,too. Anything that is would't tell me,that's the thing that I would do. But now I feel such emptiness within, For the thing that I want most in life is the thing I can't win. Spread your tiny wings and fly away. And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. The one I love forever is untrue , And if I could ,you know that I would fly away with you . The breeze along the river seems to say That he'll only break my heart again should I decide to stay . So little snowbird take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful water flow . Spread your tiny wings and fly away. And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. The one I love forever is untrue , And if I could ,you know that I would fly away with you . Spread your tiny wings and fly away. And take the snow back with you where it came from on that day. The one I love forever is untrue , And if I could ,you know that I would fly away with you . Yeah! If I could ,you know that I would fly away with you.
