|
Fell down on both knees |
|
You were young |
|
Bones still soft |
|
Legs fell numb |
|
Oh how those sparrows sang for you |
|
So you grew up |
|
An isolated pup |
|
You had some books |
|
You had some love |
|
Oh God was watching over you |
|
Oh how those sparrows sang for you |
|
You witnessed a man |
|
A holy man |
|
Touched your head |
|
With his gentle hands |
|
Oh God was watching over you |
|
Lived in a house |
|
In birmingham |
|
A preacher's son |
|
The Lord's plan |
|
Oh God was watching over you |
|
Oh how those sparrows sang for two |
|
When you arrived |
|
Carried you there |
|
Hear the preacher's son |
|
Your only love |
|
Oh God was watching over you |
|
Wedding bells rang |
|
(Wedding bells ring) |
|
Church choir sang |
|
(Church choir sing) |
|
A gospel song |
|
(Whoa-oh oh whoa) |
|
A beautiful one |
|
(A beautiful one) |
|
Oh such a melancholy tune |
|
(It's a sad tune mmmm-mmm) |
|
Oh how it reminds me of you |
