If I had a mockingbird For every tear I've shed The skies would rain with laughter Every time I raised my head And every drop would be a tear That fell upon the ground Until the waters rose so high That I must surely drown And it's cold, cold, cold And no hint of spring Yes it's cold, cold, cold When the mockingbirds sing When I used to walk this earth Beneath the harvest moon All the heavens rose above me Silent as a tomb Now the skies are filled with noise The moonlight wears a shroud Black enough to bury Every broken ugly vow And it's cold, cold, cold And no hint of spring Yes it's cold, cold, cold When the mockingbirds sing If I had a mockingbird For every lie I found The sky would fill with laughter 'til it shattered from the sound And every piece that fell to earth Would land with such a spark That finally there'd be flame enough To warm my broken heart And it's cold, cold, cold And no hint of spring Yes it's cold, cold, cold When the mockingbirds sing
