The Carter Family - The Birds Were Singing of You descargar videos gratis

An A.P. Carter original, not one of his adaptations. He and wife Sara sing this beautiful, tender love song as a duet. Recorded in 1930, it provides a spooky foreshadowing of A.P.'s soon-to-come loneliness and yearning.

LYRICS

Last night the pale moon was shining, last night when all was still,

I was wandering alone in sadness, out among the woodland hills.

I heard the birds a-singing, out among the trees and dew,

And all the birds my darling, were singing, were singing of you.

Were singing, singing of you (my love), were singing, singing of you,

And all the birds my darling, were singing, were singing of you.

I think of you in the daytime, I dream of you by night,

I wake and wish you was here love, and tears are blinding my sight.

The flowers that slumber so sweetly, the stars are above the blue,

Oh heaven itself, my darling, is thinking, is thinking of you.

Is thinking, thinking of you (my love), is thinking, thinking of you,

Oh heaven itself my darling, is thinking, is thinking of you.

I opened my window so gently, looked out on the dreaming view,

And all the world my darling, was sighing, was sighing for you.

Was sighing, sighing for you (my love), was sighing, sighing for you,

And all the world my darling, was sighing, was sighing for you.
