Jonas Brothers' 'Little Bird' full lyrics

[Verse 1: Nick Jonas]

Came in the world, my baby girl

Beautiful angel

Oh, I could cry, got your mother's kind eyes

Tryna stop time, no, I could never ask for more

[Chorus: Nick Jonas]

Darlin', there's a train comin' in your life that you gotta catch, but that's not right now

Small hands (Wrapped around my finger, wrapped around my finger), and we dance

(Try to let it linger, try to let it linger)

'Cause I know if I'm doin' my job correct, nights like these will happen less

So please just keep me in your heart when you fly into somebody else's arms, little bird

[Verse 2: Joe Jonas]

Walked down the aisle, breakin' my heart

Lay down my pride, I know I gotta let you go

'Cause he's gonna love you when I gotta leave you

Gotta believe it when the Lord takes me home

[Chorus: Joe Jonas]

Darlin', there's a train comin' in your life that you gotta catch, but that's not right now

Small hands (Wrapped around my finger, wrapped around my finger), and we dance (Try to let it linger, try to let it linger)

'Cause I know if I'm doin' my job correct, nights like these will happen less

So please just keep me in your heart when you fly into somebody else's arms, little bird

[Outro: Joe Jonas & Nick Jonas]

Oh, little bird, oh-oh, little bird

Just please just keep me in your heart when you fly into somebody else's arms, little bird
