Accompaniment:
Lyrics
All through the night there’s a little brown bird singing
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew
Singing in the hush of the darkness and the dew
Would that his song through the stillness could go winging
Could go winging to you, to you
All through the night-time my lonely heart is singing
Sweeter songs of love than the brown bird ever knew
Sweeter songs of love than the brown bird ever knew
Would that the song of my heart could go a-winging
Could go a-winging to you, to you
