Sky-lark! Sky-lark!

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. July 2000.

"Sky~lark," said a dear little boy,
"Pray where do you go when you fly so high?

Sky~lark, say, is it true
that you sing to the angels in the sky?

If so my Mother's an angel up there,
And we do miss her so, you see;

So would you please, the next time you go up,
take this message from Dad and me?"

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.

Sky~lark! 't'was a message of love;
Pathetic enough for an angel's tear.

Sky~lark trilled it in song,
And it reach'd to the angel Mother's ear.

God must have heard, for, that night in his sleep,
The boy smiled and said, "Mother, dear,

I knew you'd come to your own little boy,
If my message you got to hear."

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.

"Sky~lark!" said a desolate man,
Your message has robb'd me of my dear boy.

Sky~lark, death's angel came,
And took up to Heaven, my pride and joy.

Don't sing today, for each beautiful note
seems to bring back the days gone by;

The wife I adored and the darling
who gave you that message to sing on high.

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.

Sky~lark! Sky~lark! winging your flight so high;
Sky~lark! Sky~lark! when you go up in the sky,

If among the angels Mother you should see,
Ask her if she will come down again
to poor dear Daddy and me.
