NIGHTINGALE
(Words by Richard Coburn / Music by Vincent Rose, 1920)


Somewhere the nightingale is singing from above 
he promised that he's be my messenger of love 
and I am yearning for his returning 
It seems that's all I'm thinking of

The nightingale knows why I'm feeling sad and blue 
somehow I know that he is feeling lonesome too 
that's why he's heeding my tender pleading 
and sings to her the whole night thru

Nightingale when you are singing tenderly oh tell her nightingale
That it's a lover's melody just so whenever you are singing 
she'll know the message you are bringing 
nightingale bring back my love to me
