The Day The Robin Sang To Me

(album: Kiss And Say Goodbye: The Best Of The Manhattans - 1995)

Though the air's freshen by the mooring dew
As the warm summer sun comes shinning through
From the leafy arms of the old oak tree
Outside my window I could clearly see

The day (the day)
That a robin yeah yeah sang to me

Cherry blossoms smile in the warm summer bliss
While butterflies plant each flower with a kiss
And dandelions stretch their arms to pray
I miss you a little more each passing day

The day (the day)
That a robin yeah yeah sang to me
The day (the day)
That a robin yeah yeah sang to me

Like the coming tide as it passes with time
Gone from my side but you're still on my mind
And maybe one day in the love we knew
You'll feel just what's in my heart for you

(Smell of honeysuckle)
Smell of honeysuckle still fill the air
While a warm summer breeze played in her hair
As she stood in the garden that she loved so well
Oh how much I'd loved her I couldn't tell

The day (the day)
That a robin sang to me
The day (the day)
That a robin yeah yeah sang to me
The day (the day)
That a robin sang to me
Oh, the day (the day)
That a robin sang to me
