lyrics

Winter sang its melodious tune
Who knew her song would come too soon
Lovers side-by-side to stop the light
She clings on tight, but takes the flight

Mr. Button Blackbird are you blue now?
Last I saw you, she was gone
Can you still recall the way she loved you
Oh how she loved you, when you were gone

Orange blossoms fill the fragrant air
Nostalgic sighs, he sits and stares
Day by day he struggles how to cope
And how to love, forgotten hope

Mr. Button Blackbird, you still waiting?
Last I saw you, she was gone
Can you still recall the way she loved you
In winter’s calling, she missed the sign

Who hears you crying when you’re alone
Who hears you dying since she has flown
Who hears you crying when you’re alone
Who hears you dying since she has flown

Weary wings and drooping eyes he has
Each day would pass, he doubts he’ll last
Bright brown eyes that are not of his own
Peers in his heart, a love he’s known

Mr. Button Blackbird, do you love her?
Last I saw you, I heard no cry
Can you feel the rhythm of her heartbeat
Your heartbeat followed ‘til you died

How she cries in the dead of the night
Oh she cries since they all took flight
How she cries in the dead of the night
Oh she cries since they all took flight
