Sweet Bird of Youth lyrics
by Nat “King” Cole
[Verse 1]
The sweet bird of youth soon flies away
And nothing can make him stay
The sweet bird of youth sings us his song
To waste precious time is wrong
[Verse 2]
So come to my arms
We're young but we'll learn
That lips unkissed like moments missed
Can never return
[Verse 3]
How sad is the truth
Try though we may
The sweet bird of youth flies away
The sweet bird of youth flies away
