there was a howl that night a howling like they never heard before a cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door he said i love this child as much as any one that she ever bore but i thank the lord we won t be having any more then the baby heard the sweetest sound he d ever heard in tones so beautiful he hung on every word she sang hush my love granny s little dove is going to take to the sky it was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird now the years have passed and memories come and go he hears that voice that rocked him gently so a calm will descend and there s peace at the end of the darkest night sometimes i cry sometimes i fly like a bird now the years have passed and memories come and go he hears that voice that rocked him gently so well the rain s gonna fall and the wind my blow in the darkest night sometimes i cry sometimes i fly like a bird a calm will descend and there s peace at the end of the darkest night sometimes i cry sometimes i fly like a bird
