Lyrics

These hours are flutter by-bye, little baby
And the sun shines brightly as it blazes
And the moonlight never falls on the daisies
It’s all flutter by-bye, little baby

Our words fall like leaves in September
We’ll build fires to burn them in the winter
And watch the smoke separate from the embers
All the words like leaves in September

I’ll miss you where the water is falling
On the tower where Mozart was calling
In the room with the Boucher drawing
I’ll miss you my dear, my darling

These hours are flutter by-bye, little baby
So I’ll see you as the girls become ladies
As the words fall onto the pages
It’s all flutter by-bye, little baby

Just flutter right by, little baby
It’s never goodbye, little baby
