First Song - Abbey Lincoln

When the stars were strung

Was the first song that was sung

Lightning up a world

Made for a boy and girl

And love was new

As morning dew

The first song that I knew

Told of skies for ever blue

Clouds that disappear

My darling dear

The first song I heard

Was the warbling of a bird

Sending around

A soulful sound

Deep as the sea

Like you and me

And it’s always a song

And the changes that belong

Melodies that bring

The first song we sing
