Yardbird Suite Lyrics - Herbie Mann

It's hard to learn 

How tears can burn one's heart 

But that's a thing that I found out 

Too late I guess, Cause I'm in a mess 

My faith has gone 

Why lead me on this way? 

I thought there'd be no price on love 

But I had to pay. 

If I could perform one miracle 

I'd revive your thoughts of me 

Yet I know that it's hopeless 

You could never really care. 

That's why I despair! 

I'll go along hoping 

Someday you'll learn 

The flame in my heart, Dear, 

Forever will burn!
