There was a howl that night

A howling like they never heard before

A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door

He said

I love this child as much as

Any one that she ever bore

But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more

Then the baby heard the sweetest sound

He'd ever heard

In tones so beautiful he hung on every word

She sang

Hush my love

Granny's little dove is going to take to the sky

It was on such a night

He learned to fly like a bird

Now the years have passed

And memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

A calm will descend

And there's peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I fly like a bird

Now the years have passed

And memories come and go

He hears that voice that rocked him gently so

Well the rain's gonna fall

And the wind my blow in the darkest night

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I fly like a bird

A calm will descend

And there's peace at the end of the darkest night

Sometimes I cry sometimes I fly like a bird
