LITTLE BLUE WREN
(Glen T Moore / Milton Subotsky)
as recorded by Connie Francis
with orchestra conducted by Ray Ellis
1956
Little blue wren, I know why,
Little blue wren, why you cry;
Nobody knows,
Nobody cares
That your love has flown away!
Little blue wren in the sky,
Little blue wren way up high,
Love didn't stay,
It flew away,
Now your heart's no longer gay!
With your head upon your shoulder,
You just cry and hope that he
Will return before you're older,
And I know 'cause it happened to me!
So little blue wren in a tree,
Little blue wren, wait and see.
Some day he'll know
You love him so,
And then he'll come back again,
And you'll no more be a little blue wren!
