The Robin
(There Came to My Window)
Traditional Song
1. There came to my window one morning in spring
A sweet little robin, she came there to sing,
The tune that she sang it was prettier far
Than any I heard on the flute or guitar.
2. Her wings she was spreading to soar far away,
Then resting a moment seem'd sweetly to say:
"Oh happy, how happy the world seems to be,
Awake, little girl, and be happy with me!"

Here are the lyrics in the video below…
There came to my window one morning in Spring,
A sweet little robin, she came there to sing.
And the song that she sang, it was sweeter by far
Than ever was heard on a flute or guitar.
Chorus
Tra la la la la, Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la, Tra la la la la la.
She raised her light wings to soar far away;
Then resting a moment, seemed sweetly to say:
"Oh happy, how happy the world seems to be,
Awake, dearest child, and be happy with me."
Chorus
The sweet bird then mounted upon a light wing;
And flew to a treetop, and there did she sing:
I listened delighted, and hoped she would stay;
And come to my window, at dawn of the day.
There came to my window one morning in Spring,
A sweet little robin, she came there to sing.
And the song that she sang, it was sweeter by far
Than ever was heard on a flute or guitar.
Chorus
Tra la la la la, Tra la la la la,
Tra la la la la, Tra la la la la la.
She raised her light wings to soar far away;
Then resting a moment, seemed sweetly to say:
"Oh happy, how happy the world seems to be,
Awake, dearest child, and be happy with me."
Chorus
The sweet bird then mounted upon a light wing;
And flew to a treetop, and there did she sing:
I listened delighted, and hoped she would stay;
And come to my window, at dawn of the day.
