Late at night when the wind is still
I'll come flying through your door
And you'll know what love is for

I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
I'm a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah

Touch your lips with a magic kiss
And you'll be a bluebird too
And you'll know what love can do

I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a bluebird, I'm a bluebird,
I'm a bluebird, yeah, yeah, yeah

Bluebird, ah ha




Bluebird, ah ha

Overall Meaning

The song "Bluebird" by Paul McCartney and Wings is a romantic ballad that speaks of the transformative powers of love. The song starts off with the singer expressing a desire to come flying through the door of their loved one during a still night. They promise that once they do, their lover will know what love is for. The bird-like quality displayed in these lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for freedom and the ability to soar above any challenges that come their way. The song is essentially saying that love has the ability to set one free from the worries of the world and that it can lift them up and give them wings.


The second verse is equally meaningful as the singer talks about touching lips with a magical kiss. Once this kiss is bestowed upon the listener, they too will become a bluebird and understand the power of love. The repetition of the line "I'm a bluebird" throughout the song emphasizes the transformative qualities of love, as each time it is repeated, it highlights the singer's ability to spread their wings and take flight. The song concludes with McCartney repeating the word "Bluebird" several times, which adds an ethereal quality to the song and underscores the idea of love as a magical, transformative force.

Yeah, I'm a turner
I turn pages all the time
Don't like where I'm at, 34 was bad
So I just turn to 35
Yeah, I'm a keeper
I keep digging down for the deep
Like the records I'm playing
They might keep you waiting
But you know I'm gonna play 'em for keeps
And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wildcard up my sleeve
And if love keeps giving me lemons
I'll just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart
Well, I'm a giver
Yeah, and I'm still giving 'em hell
Forgiving's pretty hard
So I made an art out of forgettin' 'em well
Yeah, I'm a rhymer
I can turn twenty cents into a ten
And if I get confused, and I start to lose
I rhyme a dime 'til it all makes sense
And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wildcard up my sleeve
And if love keeps giving me lemons
I'll just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I turn the light on in my soul
And keep a bluebird in my heart
Ooh, ooh
And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wildcard up my sleeve
And if love starts giving me lemons
Just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll keep the light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart
Keep a bluebird in my heart
Ooh
And the bluebird sings
Ooh

"Bluebird"

Yeah I'm a turner
I turn pages all the time
Don't like where I'm at
34 was bad
So I just turn to 35
Yeah I'm a keeper
I keep digging down for the deep
Like the records I'm playing
They might keep you waiting
But you know I'm only playing for keeps

And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wild card up my sleeve
And if love keeps giving me lemons
I just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart

Well I'm a giver
Yeah and I'm still giving 'em hell
Forgiving's pretty hard
So I've made an art
Out of forgetting 'em well
Yeah I'm a rhymer
I can turn 20 cents into a 10
And if I get confused
And I start to lose
I'll rhyme a dime till it all makes sense

And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wild card up my sleeve
And if love keeps giving me lemons
I just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll turn a light on in my soul
And keep the bluebird in my heart

And if the house just keeps on winning
I got a wild card up my sleeve
And if love starts giving me lemons
I just mix 'em in my drink
And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart
Keep a bluebird in my heart

And the bluebird sings

I lost my girlfriend a little over a year ago to Cancer, she was just 42, this song really makes me think of her, puts a little smile on my face, I really think she would have loved this song too, thanks so much.

@pamelaaranzazu

If it reminds you of her she’s there with you ❤️ I’ll send a prayer for you tonight my thoughts are with you !
