| I saw the bird cry for me But I didn�t understand what it meant She wept continuously- But I didn�t know why She looked up at me, Her tears so visible; so plain Something wasn�t right here She did know, before I I looked up, into the darkening sky I couldn�t find the sun I looked back, for her But she was gone What did she mean, I often wonder. I�ve seen her only once since then That day I finally saw- I saw her smile for me And I smiled back Because at that moment I knew everything was going to be all right She told me so. But I often wonder Why I was lucky enough to see her cry And I feel sorry for those who do not For they are missing the biggest joy I have found It�s the joy of my life- The joy she let me have The joy I was going to vanquish But then I saw something Out of the corner of my blurry eyes I saw the bird cry for me And I now know what she meant.
