lyrics:
hey little red bird
hey little red bird gone again
up into the clouds you're gone again
you sang a beautiful song but your gone gone gone
i'll catch up somehow

hey little chickadee
i'm looking for a melody
i'm on a search for a song it's gone gone gone
i need to find it somehow

hey little inchworm (gone again)
maybe now it's your turn (gone again)
you don't have to be long to help me find my song
i need to hear it somehow

well it's morning and i think i might
step out in the dawns early light
i'm looking for a song i heard
fly little red bird
fly little red bird

i asked a fortune teller dragonfly
who just happened to be passing by
she said it wouldn't be long for that song that song
and i believed her somehow

then i was walking down the street at noon
sure enough i heard my favorite tune
i looked up in the sky and stared
there were red birds everywhere
and that song just filled the air

hey little red bird
you were gone but now you're back here with that song again
i love it and i'm going to sing along again
i knew that this would happen somehow

hey little red bird
you singing little red bird
swinging little red bird
