(1) - The Nightingale - Trisha Yearwood 1993

Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
And that love was just a memory
But a nightingale followed me back home
And my love was waiting there for me

 

I had lost my faith as lovers often do
When the storm clouds gather overhead
But the 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 tune

 

I have heard the lark over in the vale
And I've heard the lonesome whip-poor-will
But the sweetest song is the nightingale's
And I know I'll never get my fill

(3) A Nightingale Can Sing the Blues - Peggy Lee 1946 version
Got my feathers burned,
Got my lesson learned,
Guess that I was born to lose.
Take it straight from me,
Love is misery,
Listen while I sing the blues;

Ain't it a shame,
He had to go and grieve me,
Some other dame
Has made him up to leave me.
That's how it happens,
A nightingale can sing the blues.

I'll put it straight,
He's got his self a new bird,
Gave me the gate
And now I'm just a blue bird,
That's how it happens,
A nightingale can sing the blues.

He can take me
And forsake me
Just as quick as that!
When there's someone new in town.
But I'm bettin'
He'll be frettin'
For his old job back
When his brand new lady love has let him down!

You take my word,
There ain't no use a-preachin',
I got a bird
Who's gonna get some teachin'!
Then he'll discover
A nightingale can sing the blues,
That's how it happens,
A nightingale can sing the blues.

(3) A Nightingale Can Sing the Blues - Julie London 1957 version

(4) On the Wings of a Nightingale - written by Paul McCartney 1984

(4) On the Wings of a Nightingale - The Everly Brothers 1984
When I love
I get a feeling like I'm travelling through the sky
On the wings of a nightingale

As I ride
My head is reeling, but I don't even wonder why
On the wings of a nightingale I'll fly

High above land and sea
I'll be thinking of you and me
Couldn't ask for a better place to be
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening to me

So hold my hand
I got a feeling that the journey has just begun
On the wings of a nightingale

And if you like
We'll fly together to the land of eternal sun
On the wings of a nightingale of love

High above land and sea
I'll be thinking of you and me
Couldn't ask for a better place to be
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening
Oh, I can feel something happening to me

When I love
I get a feeling like I'm travelling through the sky
On the wings of a nightingale
On the wings of a nightingale
On the wings of a nightingale fly
On the wings of a nightingale
