We have a station that started playing Christmas music since Nov.1 which is O.K. because I like most Christmas music. There is one song that I have only heard twice and I don't know the name of it or who sings it.It's a very pretty song and I was wondering if anybody can help identify it? It is sung by what sounds like a young girl (teens maybe?), and it is about a girl named Maria who finds a sick or injured bird and nurses it back to health. The rest of the song I'm not sure about because I've only heard it in my truck and I can never catch all of it. It sounds like it has a bit of a Spanish melody. Can anybody help?

mate, long time no hear
parts, dude

[ btw, I don't know the answer to your question! ]

There's this one that has lyrics which seems to cover what you've written : - The Gift

It's sung by Garth Brooks though (not a young/teenage girl but I've never heard him sing it, so who knows what he sounds like? ).

There's probably another version out there that was released by someone else.

YES! That is the song. I wonder who sings the version I heard?

Hey! gtho4, How are things down under? Getting warmer? It's beginning to look a lot like winter here in Michigan!
