"Little Bird" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

Beauty is a rare perfume precious yet doesn't last long
Youth is but a playful breeze that blows our way once then moves on
Love is a hidden treasure some never find where it lies
And memory is a little bird that flies through life and never dies.

Little bird take me aboard your beautiful wings and let me fly
Fly me away back to yesterday and drop me off there awhile.

Let me smell the rare perfume of the sweet flower of beauty again
Let me run in the playful breeze of youth long gone with the wind
Let me sit for a while by the place where I found the treasure of love
Then sing me a song as you fly me along on a long last journey above...
