The Nightingale

Yesterday, I thought that I walked alone And that love was just a memory But a nightingale followed me back home Where my love was waiting there for me I have lost my faith as lovers often do When the storm clouds gather overhead But a nightingale sang a note so true That I knew I'd lost my fear instead And to think that I said,"Love was for fools" And that time would never heal These old wounds But the nightingale saved a prayer for me In the twilight, he played a faithful true I have heard the lark over the vale And I've heard the lonesome whippoorwill But the sweetest song is the nightingale's And I know I'll never get my fill And to think that I said,"Love for fools" And that time would never heal these old wounds But the nightingale saved a prayer for me In the twilight, he played a faithful tune
