Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

                                  On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love

On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard 

Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love

 

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know

A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so

I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

 

A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore

A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree

And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more

 

A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know

A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so

I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Tomorrow i'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
