Verse 3
D
his life to begin
Sebastian is wearing a
grin under his nose
Out on the grass, he can hear it at last
The rush of a bird to his home
Then, while unpacking a comb
He thinks of a song that he knows
Sing sweet Sebastian
Sing the sweetest song
Your melody lingers on
Sing sweet Sebastian
Sing the sweetest song
Sing so sweet that while you sleep
Your melody lingers on
How did you like the song?
