I wish I could swoop you into my wings
But I'm just a songbird outside your window
And I wish I could come inside and sit on your table
Just spend the morning talking and laughing

I'm singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through
But you never understand me
So I sit here and sing songs for you

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah

I wish you would climb up this old maple tree
I wouldn't fly away like the other birds would do
And I wish you'd sit here among the branches and leaves
Just spend the morning talking and laughing

I'm singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through
But you never understand me
So I sit here and sing songs for you

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah

I wish I could swoop you into my wings
But I'm just a songbird trapped beyond your window
And I wish I could speak in whatever language you do
Just spend the morning talking and laughing

I'm singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through
But you never understand me
So I sit here and sing songs for you

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah

I'll sing all the oo's and ah's that'd you like me to
Cause the oo's and ah's are the only way
I can say I love you

Ooh, ooh, ah
Ooh, ooh, ah
