A Sound Outside my Window

Geraldine Peters 1955 (Louisiana)

Lyric
Early one Saturday morning  so suddenly as I was awaken so quiet and still..
I heard a sound outside my window seal.

I listen carefully so carefully as to what I thought it might be.
Just as I imagined it was a bird singing high up in a tree.

The tweet, tweet, tweeting sound of each little tweet brought music to my ears as I dose back off to sleep'.
