But I Dthank the Lord we won't be having any Gmore."
Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he'd Cever heard
In Dtones so beautiful he hung on Cevery wordD  
She sang, "GHush, my love, granny's little dove is going to Ctake to the sky."
It was Don such a night he learned to fly like a Gbird.
Now the Cyears have passed and memories come and Ggo
He Chears that voice that rocked him gently DsoD7  
A Gcalm will descend and there's peace at the end of the Cdarkest night
SomeDtimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a Gbird.
Lead Break:
G C G D D7 G C D G
Now the Cyears have passed and memories come and Ggo
He Chears that voice that rocked him gently DsoD7  
Well, the Grain's gonna fall and the wind may blow on the Cdarkest night
SomeDtimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a Gbird.
A Gcalm will descend and there's peace at the end of the Cdarkest night
SomeDtimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a Gbird
SomeDtimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a Gbird
