Lyrics
There is a pretty bird who sings a pretty song
Expressing admiration for a bird that sings a beautiful song
She sits outside my window and she sings the whole day long
The bird is outside the speaker's window, singing throughout the day
I know the song she sings 'cause it reminds me of my girl
The song reminds the speaker of someone special
And how I wish I knew just how to find her in this world
Expressing a desire to find the person the song reminds the speaker of
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Distance is not a barrier; the speaker wishes to find the person
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Asking for help to find and bring the person back
I told the pretty bird who sings the pretty song
Telling the bird about the speaker's love for the person
I've loved her from afar and I've loved her for so long
Expressing a long-standing love for the person from a distance
Won't you spread your tiny wings and fly around this world
Encouraging the bird to fly and help locate the person
Tell me that you're gonna help me find my little girl?
Asking the bird to confirm its assistance in finding the person
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Reiterating that distance is not an obstacle in the search
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Requesting the bird to bring the person back to the speaker
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Emphasizing again that distance doesn't matter in the quest
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Reiterating the request for the bird to bring the person home
And so the pretty bird who sings a pretty song
The bird, after singing, has left without the speaker knowing where
Has flown away and left me and I don't know where she's gone
Expressing the speaker's uncertainty about the bird's whereabouts
I learned to sing a song that you could hear around the world
The speaker has learned to sing a song that can be heard globally
That's how I'm gonna sing until I find that little girl
Commitment to singing until the person is found
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Reiterating the willingness to find the person regardless of distance
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Requesting assistance to bring the person back to the speaker
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Stressing again that distance won't hinder the search
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Repeating the plea for the bird to help in bringing the person home
It doesn't matter just how far away she'll be
Emphasizing once more that distance should not be a barrier
If you could find her, could you send her home to Daddy?
Final plea for the bird to bring the person back to the speaker
