Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On every tree there sits a bird, singing a song of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a world singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I hade loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
Tomorroy I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
A tear for him, a tear for me, a tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I hade loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
Tomorroy I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi Lo
