lyrics

there’s a robin singing at your window
telling you the day is good
she says we've got a good thing going
if i could sing a robin’s song i would

it was morning when i read your letter
it was evening when i read your face
well i guess i made a good impression
and i know i found a real good place

so go ahead and shine your brightest
go ahead until it’s true
come to bed when you're ready
and sleep well when you do

there are parts of me that i don’t know yet
there’s a candle i have yet to burn
i don’t sleep and i am always hungry
i don’t know and yet i always learn

there’s a song for every savored moment
there’s a penny for our every thought
when i asked for what would keep me happy
honey you were what i got

i don’t have a ring to give you
and i don’t have a lot to say
but maybe you can help me learn the banjo
and i can help you learn to play

so go ahead and shine your brightest
go ahead until it’s true
come to bed when you're ready
and sleep well when you do

so go ahead and shine your brightest
go ahead because it’s true
come to bed when you're ready
and sleep well when you do
