A Life As Love Birds

To be born a man or a woman
Is there a choice, a third?
If there were, I really swear
I'd like to be born a bird

And you too, my love
As a parrot or a dove
Or as a swan or a starling
You'll always be my darling

We'd make a fine pair
We'll fly on a lark
Waltzing happily in the air
 Over to the park

Together we'll chase rainbows
And glide down from the sky
A-singing our hearts out
A-looking down from high

Crazy in the spring sunshine
Heady in our romance
Earth-bound lovers would look up wistful
And watch us as we dance

Us they would envy
Men and women in love
Wishing they could make love
As we two do above

Out in the open
And up in the tree
Whenever that we please
Living lives carefree

While they sit sipping some fancy wine
We'll have dew drops on the leaves
While they wait out the storms inside
We'll shelter in the eaves

In our own little nest
On that great big tree
We'll live without worries
And live rent-free

No passports, no tickets
For us no man-made borders
We'll fly to where we please
For us no taking orders

When the wild wind blows
And shakes our oak tree
Or the rain falls hard
And tries to soak thee

In all kinds of weather
We'll find cause to sing
Feather touching feather
You sheltered in my wing

In the light breeze a wind chime sings
They're both aflutter - my heart and my wings,
Come to me, My Cutie Beak!
I want to kiss you as you speak

Like our own spirits we would soar
Wings spread out in the sky
I could not ask for very much more
Than such a life to try
