One For Sorrow Performer(s): Dorothy Squires
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
Do you remember, as a child, looking up into the sky Counting blackbirds on the wing and the song we used to sing?
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
On the day you left me, came blackbird number one Bringing me the sorrow and took away the sun I searched the sky, that lonely sky For two or three or four For joy a letter would bring to me From the boy who I adore
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy
You left me over things I said You know my love is true And five would turn my darkest clouds Into a silver dew
Today I saw six blackbirds Flying on their way A lonely blackbird joined them And they seemed to say
Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
Youre coming back to me my love With a band of gold And then Ill share a secret A secret Ive never told
One for sorrow, two for joy Three for a letter and four for a boy Five for silver, six for gold Seven for a secret thats never been told
