Lyrics

The Nightingale

[Verse 1]

The nightingale

It said to me

There is a love

Meant for me

The nightingale

It flew to me

And told me

That it found my love

[Chorus]

He said one day

I'll meet you

Our hearts will fly

With the nightingale

[Verse 2]

The nightingale

He told me

One day

You will be with me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

The nightingale

Said he knew

That your love

Would find my love one day

[Chorus]

My heart flies

With the nightingale

Through the night

All across the world

[Outro]

I long to see you

To touch you

To love you

Forever more
