Lyrics Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin

Brief Eternity

I hear my "hey la"

Echo with my "hola"

Beneath my footbridge, where I always sing

Whistling papa's whistle

Bouncing off the stone

Closing my eyes to find eternal spring

Rolling down the hillside

Soaking in the twilight

Floating with laughter and the spinning sky

Deep in constellations

Fathoming creation

How ciuld all this have come evolve from timeless time

Imagine this

One brief eternity

One tiny glimpse from God

One small infinity

Where I sing "hey la"!

Dropping back to hard land

Ticking with thr tock land

Finding a portal back to timeless seas

Maybe someone's kiss is

Where suspended bliss is

Or in the moment

Before your baby

Drifts to sleep

Your lullabies

Lulla-bye you

Will bring you back...

Drifting off and

Slipping into Somewhere you swear you hear...

...Voices, mama's "doo doo doo doo" Lovers whisper "doo doo doo doo"

Loved ones lost are singing with you Psalms and whispers

Working in the garden has you...

...Breathing in the bloom and then you View the sunset view to move you

Close to truly understanding

Life and death but nothing ending

Voices living on

Voices, mama's "doo doo doo doo"

Lovers cooing "doo doo doo doo"

Loved ones lost are singing with you Psalms and whispers

Working in the garden has you...

...Breathing in the bloom, and then you View the sunset view to bring you

Back to awe and understanding

To the place

Where revelations seem so never ending

Mama hear my hey la, hey la...

I hear Popa's whistle, can you hear him too...

God has granted us

With this brief eternity

A chance to see wondrous glimpse

Within a kiss

Suspended bliss

An echoed voice

A spinning boy

Who's drifting with the stars to sleep
