The Little Brown Sparrow and Me – C.W. McCall – letras

(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)One green April mornin’, when I was a young boyI lay by the window, a-watchin’ the rainAnd I wondered if ever the sun would come shinin’So I could go somewhere to playThen down from the sky flew a little brown sparrowAnd he lit on the branch of an old willow treeAnd he sit there, watchin’, as I lay wond’rin’Just the little brown sparrow and meOn a green April mornin’, when I was a young boyAnd little brown sparrows were freeThen he looked in my window and he spied his reflectionThere was the willow, there was the skyAnd he wondered if ever the sun would come shinin’And which was the way for the sparrow to flyWell, he spread out his wings and he flew to the windowFast as the wind, sure as could beBut the sky in the window was only a wishin’For the little brown sparrow and meOn a green April mornin’, when I was a young boyAnd little brown sparrows were freeSo there by the window, the sparrow had fallenHe died on the ground in the cold April rainAnd I wondered if ever the sun would come shinin’And someone could only explainThen I laid there and saw the wind blow through the willowAnd cover him over with yesterday’s leavesAnd there in the rain, I cried for a sparrowFor a little brown sparrow and meOn a green April mornin’, when I was a young boyAnd little brown sparrows were freeOn a green April mornin’, when life was a windowFor a little brown sparrow and me
