What kind of bird is that
The one with the bright red breast
I know it can't, just can't be the robin
Cause my love is not back yet
The one I love and wanted to marry
Had to leave before she became my bride
But she said she'd return
Before the robin returns
And together we'd spend our lives
And she said she'd return
Along before the robin return
And together we'd watch the leaves turn green
She showed me then
Just how much she love me
And she and I and the robin
Can spend the spring
So what kind of bird is that
The one with the bright red breast
I know it can't, just can't be the robin
Cause my love is not back yet
So who could be playing tricks on me
By the time that I relax and counting leaves
That can't be the spring
Yeah surely that can't be
Cause the one I love she's not with me
What kind of bird is that
The one with the bright red breast
I know it can't, just can't be the robin
Cause my love is not back yet
