Billie Holiday - Back In Your Own Backyard Lyrics

Artist: Billie Holiday

Album: The Quintessential - Volume 5

  • Songwriters: Dave Dreyer, Al Jolson, Billy Rose

The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard

You'll see your castles in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard

Oh, you can go to the East
Go to the West
But someday you'll come weary at heart
Back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard

The bird with feathers of blue
Is waiting for you
Back in your own backyard

You'll see your castles in Spain
Through your window pane
Back in your own backyard

Oh, you can go to the East
Go to the West
But someday you'll come weary at heart
Back where you started from

You'll find your happiness lies
Right under your eyes
Back in your own backyard
