Today, my bird flew away,
Gone to find her big Blue Jay.
Starlight before she took flight,
I sang a Lullaby Of Birdland everynight.
I sang a lullaby everynight,
Sang for my Ava everynight.
Ava was the morning, now she's gone,
She's re-born like Sarah Vaughan.
In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.
And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.
With dread, I woke in my bed,
To shooting pains up in my head.
Lovebird, my beautiful bird,
Spoke until one day,
She couldn't be heard.
She spoke until one day,
She couldn't be heard,
She just stopped singing.
Ava was the morning, now she's gone,
She's re-born like Sarah Vaughan.
In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.
And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.
Ava was the morning, now she's gone,
She's re-born like Sarah Vaughan.
In the sanctuary, she has found,
Birds sur-round, her sweet sound.
And Ava flies, in paradise,
And Ava flies, in paradise.
