Abbey Lincoln - First Song Lyrics

When the stars were strung,
Was the first song that was sung
Lightning up a world
Made for a boy and girl
And love was new
As morning dew

The first song that I knew
Told of skies for ever blue
Clouds that disappear
My darling dear

The first song I heard
Was the warbling of a bird
Sending around
A soulful sound
Deep as the sea
Like you and me

And it's always a song
And the changes that belong
Melodies that bring
The first song we sing.
