GONNA FIND ME A BLUEBIRD Gonna find me a bluebird Let him sing me a song Cause my heart's been broken Much too long Gonna chase me a rainbow Thru' a heaven of blue Cause I'm all through crying over you. There was a time my love was needed My life completed, my dreams come true Then came the time my life was haunted My love unwanted, all for you. (repeat 1st verse) ~Masato |

There was a great whistling break on it, sounded almost like yodeling. One's memory is imprecise (and incomplete), however... Gonna buy me a bluebird Let him sing me a song 'Cause my heart's been lonely Much too long Gonna paint me a rainbow In a heaven of blue 'Cause my heart's been crying O-ver you (Surely there's more...) |
