Chorus

I HAVE A SMALL BIRD IN MY HEART

A SMALL BIRD IN THE HEART 

In my heart I have a little bird
who makes melodies inside me
Of autumn and fleeting spring
of 1,000 small loves

and she makes songs inside me
and colors worlds
and solves almost all the dreams
with poetry

Chorus
I have a little bird in my heart
with two dimples and a melody

In my heart I have a little bird
and she makes stories in me
of a warm home and loving son
and bits of of a beautiful childhood

And she remembers in me hurt
and she collects the years in me
and she makes me peaceful -
perhaps she's the taste of life!

Chorus

In my heart I have a little bird
and maybe she's all the hopes
and sometimes I think
That she's the answer to disappointments

And she godd, white-winged
And with her I feel free
and she sits on a branch
among the strings of my heart

Chorus
