Mother Bird (Extended Version) Lyrics

Covers me in blankets and turns out the light

Kisses on my head while holding me tight

Sing a song, say a prayer, dream of wonderful things

As I drift off to sleep, mother bird, keeping watch, softly sings

I know you want to stay awake and I wish that I could let you

To play some more, to have more time, to say all that I want to

But we'll say goodnight and I'll let you go

I love you too much to not let you grow

Sleep well, sleep well my beautiful girl

Grabs my hat and gloves, says it's getting kind of cold out

The moving van is good to go, but what if it should break down

Waves goodbye, says a prayer, time for wonderful things

As I fly from the nest, mother bird, left behind, softly sings

I know you want to stay awake and I wish that I could let you

To play some more, to have more time, to say all that I want to

But we'll say goodnight and I'll let you go

I love you too much to not let you grow

Sleep well, sleep well my beautiful girl

And she trusts me enough to let my fly away

And she'll be there if I ever lose my way

And this is what she'll say

I know you want to stay awake and I wish that I could let you

To play some more, to have more time, to say all that I want to

But we'll say goodnight and I'll let you go

I love you too much to not let you grow

Sleep well, sleep well my beautiful girl

Sleep well, sleep well my beautiful girl
