Emmylou Harris - If You Were A Bluebird Lyrics






If you were a bluebird you'd be a sad one
I'd give you a true word
But you've already had one
If you were a bluebird,
you'd be crying
You'd be flying home
If you were a raindrop,
You'd shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop,
The conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop,
You'd be falling
You'd be calling home

If you were a hotel
Honey, you'd be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell,
Do you think you could stand one
If you were a hotel,
Well I'd lean on your doorbell
I'd call you my home
If I was a highway,
I'd stretch alongside you
I'd help you pass by ways
That had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway,
Well I'd be stretchin'
I'd be fetchin' you home

    Ahh, Emmy Lou, where do I start, where do I finish? My favorite . Here's the original, Butch Hancock wrote this....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xOQN_5AgXs

  11. K.... M....

    Sure enjoy hearing the most elegant hands on piano- Glen Harden's piano phrasing always fit Emmylou's voice so perfectly. Who is on pedal steel? H.Devito or Steve Fishell (sp?) What a timeless track.

  12. J.... H....

    Here's Butch Hancock singing it along with some friends from Lubbock, Tx. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xOQN_5AgXs

    it's time to walk away, Dixieland. the wording was accidentally wrong last time. Hello disney land, this goes to my uncle who's wrongfully dieing in prison. please let him hear this song. all he did was get dwis which is bad but he's dieing alone and i know now what that's like

  30. r.... s....

    Brilliant song y emmylou

  31. r.... s....

    Brilliant song from Emmylou Harris

  32. B.... B....

    I bought her "Bluebird" CD in 1988. Need to listen to it.

  33. r.... s....

    Brilliant song sung by a brilliant singer

  34. D.... P....

    I like serveral female singers, But Emmyloi is the only one that can touch my heart. Does she affect anyone else in that way.

    D.... P....

    I thought it was the perfect description of how her voice made me feel.

    D.... P....

    @Mark Johnson There are two types of men in the world -- those who are in love with Emmylou Harris, and those who do not know of her.

    D.... P....

    Emmylou is the greatest female vocalist of all time in any genre.

    D.... P....

    Maybe not the only one but one of a very select group. A very special talent indeed.

    D.... P....

    @Scottish John I like that word.

  35. P.... B....

    Angelic voice with a pure heart. She invited my wife and I to visit after a show on her bus at a small venue near our home in the late 80's. I had to go to work, EmmyLou asked if we had kids at home and told Carol just go get them and bring them back to the bus so the babysitter could go home.

  36. w.... f....

    Ich liebe besonders den Schlussteil. Für mich bräuchte sie nur ah, oho und mmmh singen und ich wäre glücklich! Und ab und zu ein Lächeln...

  37. V.... F....

    And, tonight, I return it to him; my love, my soul, my heart.

  38. V.... F....

    Another haunting love song sent me from my long lost love.  An everlasting beautiful song by Emmylou.

  39. B.... B....

    Waking up to another day. How blessed we all are to have each day to live life to it's fullest at this moment in time.

    B.... B....

    Barry Boecher amen to that

    B.... B....

    Amen to that

  40. c.... m....

    My life long favourite lady artist she been awesome musically in my life thanks for posting with superb background

  41. L.... C....

    Emmylou Harris is good.

  42. A.... ....

    Beautiful..<3

  43. M.... ....

    Everytime I run across this song by Emmylou, I always wonder why it wasn't a massive hit for her? It's wonderfully rendered by the musical version. Of course, it's impeccably sung by one of life's wonders as a singer. It's upbeat. I would have thought it would be on several playlists. Always a question what makes a "hit".

    M.... ....

    If you see what constitutes a "hit" nowadays, you can see why this isn't there. This is real music...

    M.... ....

    Thank the Lord it's not. You don't need your taste validated

  44. B.... L....

    I go for months without listening to Emmylou, then something happens --I see a bluebird this morning --and pretty soon, an angel from heaven is singing, and I'm just a teary-eyed grinnin' mess again.

    B.... L....

    @Buddy Larsen lovely comment! x

  45. b.... ....

    mmmm  Beautiful     !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    b.... ....

  48. M.... P....

  49. M.... P....

    So pretty and sad

    M.... P....

    MeeMaw Papa-Juan yes

  50. C.... M....

    Emmylou knows what suits her voice. She gives wonderfully emotional interpretations of classic songs. This one is written by native Texan troubador, Butch Hancock. Way to go, Emmy!

    C.... M....

    Never heard it but its ok....ya just made my day with it C.M.   I love it.

  51. W.... G....

    What an amazing job you did with the visuals Reddirt. (picture perfect!) As beautifully as Emmy sings this, you did her proud with how you produced it. 5 stars.

    W.... G....
