Baby Dee - The robin's tiny throat lyrics

rate me

I woke up one morning heard a robin's song.

I asked that robin "Why do you sing?"

"It was a voice whose rhymes are worlds

That made my song for me

How could I not sing?"

I woke up on morning heard a robins song

I asked that robin "Who made your throat?"

"That same hand that flies a million dawns

Made my tiny throat and wrote my songs

How could I not sing?"

I built an arbor and I asked the vine

"How come you grow so tall?"

"If I can make it above the wall

That same hand that holds out hope for all

Will gild me in the morning sky

And though I cannot sing

That hand a gentle wind will bring

And make a rustling lullaby

For milky sleeping babes

How could I not grow?"

I woke up one morning and I asked the sky

"How can you bear such emptiness?"

"For that bright eye that looks out and smiles

And makes my night her day

What would I not bear?"

I woke up one morning and I heard her voice

She called me by my name

What would I not give

To be called her child

What would I not give

To be called her friend

I'm gonna wake up one morning I'm gonna see her face

Smiling down on me

That robin's song and that morning sky

Are all the hope I need

I don't know how and I don't know why

But I'm gonna wake up one morning and I'll see her face

Smiling Down on me

I'm gonna wake up one morning

I'm gonna wake up one morning

I'm gonna wake up one morning
