Fell down on both knees

You were young

Bones still soft

Legs felt numb

Oh, how those sparrows sang for you.

So you grew up

Isolated pub

Had some birch

Had some love

Oh, God was watching over you.

Oh, how those sparrows sang for you.

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh¦

You witnessed a man

holy man

Touched your head

With his gentle hands

Oh, God was watching over you.

Lived in a house

In Birmingham

Preachers self

Lord's plan

Oh, God was watching over you.

Oh, how those sparrows sang for two.

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh

When you arrived

The carriage had left

Near the preacher's cell

Your own love

Oh, God was watching over you.

Wedding bells rang (wedding bells ring)

The church choir sings (church choir sings)

Gospel sells (Ooohhh)

Beautiful world (beautiful world)

Oh such a melody calling to

Oh how it reminds me of you

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh¦
