Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean The unborn grass lies waiting for its coat to turn to green The snowbird sings a song he always sings And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring When I was young my heart was young then too Anything that it would tell me, that's the thing that I would do But now I feel such emptiness within For the thing that I want most in life is the thing I can't win Spread your wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could, you know that I would Fly away with you The breeze along the river seems to say That he'll only break my heart again, should I decide to stay So little snowbird take me with you when you go To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day The one I love forever is untrue And if I could, you know that I would Fly away with you

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover So you better think it over Well, if sweet talkin' you could make it come true I would give you the world right now on a silver platter But what would it matter? So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap, still waters run deep And there won't always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I'm talkin' about So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

I feel so bad I got a worried mi-ind I'm so lonesome all of the time Since I left my baby behind o-on Blue Bayou Savin nickels, savin di-imes Workin till the sun don't shine Lookin forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou I'm goin' back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where those fishin boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy I'd be Gonna see my baby again Gonna be with some o' my friends Maybe I'll feel better again o-on Blue Bayou Savin' nickels, savin di-imes Workin' till the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times o-on Blue Bayou I'm goin back some day, come what may to Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou Where those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see That familiar sunrise through sleepy eye-eyes, how happy I'd be With that boy of mine by my side The silver moo-oon and the evenin' tide Some sweet day gonna take away-ay this hurtin inside I'll never be blue, my dreams come true-ue On Blue - Ba-you...
