Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
I first heard
this song in 1952 when I was five years old. I remember being quite
enchanted by the loveliness of it all, but totally puzzled. Wasn't love
supposed to be a happy thing? How could it possibly ever be sad?
Ah, childhood!

Music by
Bronisław Kaper (21 Mar 1906 - 15 Mar 1992), 1952 Singing a song of love. On every tree there sits a bird, And everyone I've ever heard Breaks my heart with all the words, Singing a song of love. A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo. A song of love is a song of woe; Don't ask me how I know. A song of love is a sad song, For I have loved and it's so. I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo, Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo. A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo. A song of love is a song of woe; Don't ask me how I know. A song of love is a sad song, For I have loved and it's so. I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo, Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili----Hi-Lili----Hi-Lo.
