Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me
I had lost my faith, as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather
Overhead
But the nightingale
Said a note so true that I knew
I'd lost my fear instead
And to think that I
Said love was for fools
And that time would
Make me feel
I could never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale
Saved a prayer for me
In the twilight
He played a faithful tune
And I've heard the lark
Over in the vale
And I've heard the lark
The lonesome whippoorwill
But the sweetest song
Is the nightingale's
And I know
I'll never get my fill
And to think that I
Said love was for fools
And that time would
Never heal these old wounds
But the nightingale
Saved a prayer for me
In the twilight
He played a faithful tune
The nightingale
Saved a prayer for me
In the twilight
He played a faithful tune
