Dear winter bird
How long can you last
Before it gets too cold
And the earth asks you back?

Dear bended bough
You're ready for the sun
The old man is leaving
A longer day's begun

Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend
I promise you they do

Birch trees are bones
Stripped of their leaves
And pressed between the pages
Of my memories

This heart of mine
Is ready for the spring
Open up my window
Winter bird, take wing

Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend
I promise you they do

It's not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)
It's not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)
It's not easy to pretend (ooh, la, la, la, la)
I can see blue skies again (ooh, la, la, la, la)

Suddenly I can see blue skies again
Beauty says nothing less than our hearts will mend
I promise you they do
