Lyrics
Passing by a window yesterday, dear
Such a pretty picture caught my eye
Just two little birds
Just too sweet for words
With no thought for all the passers-by
Right away those lovers
Brought my thoughts to you and me
If only we could be
REFRAIN
Two little love birds in Springtime
We’d build our nest in a tree
Sweet little love words
Just like the love birds
Softly you’d sing to me
My little love bird
I’d always cherish and keep you
Cuddled close under my wing
And maybe we would be blest
With an egg in our nest
Just like two little love birds in Spring
