Lyrics
1. Day is ending, birds are wending
Back to the shelter of
Each little nest they love
Nightshades falling, love birds calling
What makes the world go ’round?
Nothing but love
Chorus
When whippoorwills call and evening is nigh
I hurry to my blue heaven
A turn to the right, a little white light
Will lead you to my blue heaven
You’ll see a smiling face, a fireplace, a cosy room
A little nest that’s nestled where the roses bloom
Just Molly and me and baby makes three
We’re happy in my blue heaven
2. Moonbeams creeping, flowers are sleeping
Under a starlit way
Waiting another day
Time for resting, birds are nesting
Resting their weary wings
Tired from play
Performance
