LRC Lyrics download
[00:00.740]My heart is like a singing bird
[00:02.320]Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
[00:04.562]My heart is like an apple-tree
[00:05.893]Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;
[00:08.610]My heart is like a rainbow shell
[00:10.402]That paddles in a halcyon sea;
[00:13.045]My heart is gladder than all these
[00:15.881]Because my love is come to me.
[00:18.230]
[00:19.442]Raise me a dais of silk and down;
[00:23.037]Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
[00:25.967]Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
[00:28.847]And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
[00:31.330]Work it in gold and silver grapes,
[00:33.850]In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
[00:37.108]Because the birthday of my life
[00:39.562]Is come, my love is come to me.

My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
