Lyrics
1. I never sing a song about a bluebird
Because I am always so blue
Isn’t it strange, that my luck don’t change
I long for a “sweet little You”
REFRAIN
I’m thirsty for kisses, I’m hungry for love
And lonely, with only just me
My luck always misses, I miss love and kisses
The best things in life are not free
Old Mister Moon has seen them pass me
From his place on high
It’s useless if I try to use an alibi
I’m thirsty for kisses, I’m hungry for love
And lonely, with only just me
2. Thru melancholy days and lonely evenings
I long for that sweet little “Yes”
Maybe it’s fate, that’s making me wait
Or cupid has lost my address
