Yesterday, I thought that I walked alone   And that love was just a memory   But a nightingale followed me back home   Where my love was waiting there for me      I have lost my faith as lovers often do   When the storm clouds gather overhead   But a nightingale sang a note so true   That I knew I?d lost my fear instead      And to think that I said,"Love was for fools"   And that time would never heal   These old wounds   But the nightingale saved a prayer for me      In the twilight, he played a faithful true   I have heard the lark over the vale   And I?ve heard the lonesome whippoorwill   But the sweetest song is the nightingale?s   And I know I?ll never get my fill      And to think that I said,"Love for fools"   And that time would never heal these old wounds   But the nightingale saved a prayer for me   In the twilight, he played a faithful tune
