Heartbroken was I, when I saw him laying there
A couple of years ago, he lived with my grandma
Pete was her special bird for many, many years
People say, Pete use to talk before she passed away
Yet, I had never heard him say not even one word

He was a pretty old bird, so I have been told
After my grandma died, I got to have him
Losing her was just too much for him to take
Often I would try to get him to start talking again
Words I would repeat to him every single day
Eventually I had hoped that he would talk again
Eagerly I waited for him to repeat what I said
Now he is dead too and I'll never hear him talk
