When The Love-Bird Leaves The Nest 1927 Carl Brisson

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Dec 2005

Two little lovebirds were singing
high on a treetop in June;
one flew away from the other
and left him wond'ring so soon.

When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?
Does she wander thro' the sky
feeling glad while I'm sad and depressed?
And when she flies above me
does she love me as she used to do?
What's she thinking, is she winking
at somebody new?
When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?

When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?
Does she wander thro' the sky
feeling glad while I'm sad and depressed?
And when she flies above me
does she love me as she used to do?
What's she thinking, is she winking
at somebody new?
When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?

Now in the grey of December
there burns an ember of love;
still when the shadows are falling
you'll hear him calling above.

When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?
Does she wander thro' the sky
feeling glad while I'm sad and depressed?
And when she flies above me
does she love me as she used to do?
What's she thinking, is she winking
at somebody new?
When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?

When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?
Does she wander thro' the sky
feeling glad while I'm sad and depressed?
And when she flies above me
does she love me as she used to do?
What's she thinking, is she winking
at somebody new?
When the lovebird leaves the nest,
does she fly to the East or the West?
