There was a howl that night
A howling like they never heard before
A cry so loud, ol granddaddy almost hit the door
He said I love this child as much as any one that she ever bore,
But I thank the Lord, we won’t be having anymore
Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he’d ever heard
She sang hush my love, granny’s little dove is gonna take to the sky
It was on such a night, he learned to fly like a bird
Now the years have passed and memories come and go
He hears that voice that rocked him gently so
A calm will descend and there’s a peace at the end of the darkest night
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.
Musical break
Now the years have passed and memories come and go
He hears that voice that rocked him gently so
Well the rain’s gonna fall and the wind may blow on the darkest night
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.
Musical break
A calm will descend and there’s a peace at the end of the darkest night
SomSometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.
Oh lord, sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird.
