The Three Song
music and lyrics by Mason Williams
performed by The Smothers Brothers

This is one of the few songs that I ever remember the Smothers Brothers singing seriously all the way through. Of course, I love all the silly ones, but "The Three Song" is my all - time fav!]

The little winds sing a song
of the sun in the sky
and I know, like the wind,
the songs will always be there

In your hair, soft and warm
light of dawn, shining fair
in your voice, as you sing
the songs will always be there

Oh little winds (in your hair) sing a song (soft and warm)
of the sun (light of dawn) in the sky (shining fair)
and I know (in your voice) like the wind (as you sing)
the songs will always be there

Oh little wines are the kiss
of the fruit from the earth
and I know, there I taste
surely the sweetest of all

In your lips, sweet as dew
on the vines in the fall
the first kiss from your lips
is surely the sweetest of all

Oh little wines (in your lips) are the kiss (sweet as dew)
from the fruit (on the vines) from the earth (in the fall)
and I know (the first kiss) there I taste (from your lips)
is surely the sweetest of all

Two little stars twinkle bright
in the still sky above
and I know only you
and wish it so to be true

In your eyes like the skies
of the night it is true
that I love only you
and wish it so to be true

The little stars (in your eyes) twinkle bright (like the skies)
in the still (of the night) sky above (it is true)
And I know (that I love) only you (only you)
and wish it so to be true
