If I could sit right here, beside you And I sing my favorite song? And if you don't enjoy my company Then I'll just ramble on I want a bird, (I want a bird) To sing that song for me, yeah I'm just sitting here, (sitting here) Waiting all impatiently But if that bird, (if that bird) sings that song for me, yeah Then I'll know, (then I'll know) I said I'll know it was meant to be, yeah I want a bird
