Bard Of My Heart
Judy Collins
Intro: verse 1 The summer was sweet and the flowers were blooming The wind was as gentle and sweet as a kiss The great northern lights danced above us till morning The stars were like diamonds we each made our wish Interlude verse 2 The mountains were green and they climbed to the heavens The rivers ran sparkling down to the sea Your laugh like a bell filled my heart with such gladness Our songs they were happy our voices were free Interlude verse 3 We built a green bower of willows and roses Sang of our pleasures and sang of our woes How could we have known this would be your last summer How precious the bower how precious the rose Interlude **Key Change - Up 3 Semitones** verse 4 The world without you has gone dark as the winter The sounds of the river are frozen and still The lark has grown silent the stars have no lustre I long to see springtime some say that I will Interlude Verse 5 They say I will find you among the bright flowers We’ll walk in the rain and we’ll dance in the wind We’ll build a green bower and fish all the rivers We’ll watch the stars fall and we’ll smile once again Interlude Verse 6 I still love you more than the earth and its beauties You are all my seasons we never shall part For though I have lost you you live on forever Oh joy of my future oh child of my heart Outro
