Capo 5
G
Little bird came into my life,
D
When I'd forgotten how to sing.
She had a broken wing,
G
and on the night she came to me,
D
she sang for me cinders from a spark.
Little bird had a broken heart.
G D Em
She sang all night.
And in the morning I awoke to find I'd grown a smolder in my heart.
When it was cold and dark little bird came into my life,
when I'd lost sight of the spring.
She was the little spark.
G D Em
So I stoked the fire,
D C D
and I held her warm by it.
G D Em
Woooooah, and we sang all night.
Little bird came into my life,
when I'd forgotten how to sing.
I had a broken wing,
and all the while she sang to mend.
A broken heart will learn the words to say.
We'll fly again someday.
So I stoked the fire,
and I held her warm by it,
And we sang all night.
It's like a window to my heart.
And I sang all night.
