Do You Hear the Robins Sing

Where you live, you say the view is so beautiful And the Astroturf that's on your lawn Stays green the whole year around And the buildings are so tall, they almost reach heaven But do you ever, ever hear the robins sing? Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime? While a mockingbird joins in his happy song? Is all the beauty in your world just artificial things? Do you ever, ever hear the robins sing? Where I live, the butterflies still kiss the roses And forget-me-nots still grow along the shady lane And the weeping willow trees still swaying in the breeze And often I still hear the robins sing Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime While a mockingbird joins in his happy song? Is all the beauty in your world just artificial things? Do you ever, ever hear the robins sing? Do you ever, ever hear the robins sing?
