[Lyric] Birdsong (Mario William Vitale)

When I am gone, I leave to you
The sunlight that sparkles on the lake
The fresh green grass and the scent of lilacs
You may have all birdsong and a billion stars
And a soft warm breeze to touch you in my stead
I leave you the seasons and their unending procession
Deep roots and swallows swooping in summer blue sky
White fluffy clouds and sunsets, you may have those too
Fresh green leaves, ancient woodlands and gnarled bark
The first crocus as it peeps through springs dark damp earth
And every russet coloured leaf that swirls in autumn is yours
Ocean waves and soft sand, shells and driftwood, as much as you can carry
Every friendly dog you pass in the street, the wag of their tails is just for you
And when snow falls as it invariably will, its deep silence belong to you, just you
The sound of every bell, the tinkle of every windchime, all yours
Dappled sunlight dancing through deep shade is yours
Clifftop walks and soaring gulls, they too are yours
Filtered light and darkest night, all yours
Rustling leaves, humming bees, yours
Galloping horses and sleeping cats
Pale pink roses, and all my love
Are yours... all yours
