Seldom can any song invoke the pure emotion that Songbird can. The call for lyric interpretations also invoked quite a varied response as to Songbird's origins and meaning.
Songbird is most often believed to be about the members of the band, and how the turmoil they were going through was affecting her life. There were hard times between all of them, and the "songbirds" she sings about are all the members of the band. The song shows how much these people meant to her and how big a role they played in her life, and the need for the members of the band to get along with each other and keep on singing.
Others believe Songbird to be about lovers and friends in general. She could have been listening to the birds chirping in the morning and she looked down at the man she was with and thought how wonderful it was and wonderful it was going to be -- and as she hears the birds singing they sing the feelings and confirm them--its about love and how great it is. It could also be a song made up of the kind of promises you pledge when lying in the arms of a lover, late in the night. But these promises seem sad, as though coming after a disagreement, with the songbirds as the only witnesses. They are the kind of promises that come thoughtlessly easy in love that is still new and shiny, but take a much deeper and more sacred meaning after the love has been tested in the fire. It's tarnished but in some way, stronger...like never before. It also openly affirms one lover's sense of responsibility for the power they now feel they have over the other's life. When you truly love someone you don't want them to ever feel a moment of pain...especially pain that you have caused, "but most of all I wish it from myself". This song gets it's tinge of sadness from the fact that, despite your best intentions, you never really have that much control over love at all.
Also, there is a bittersweet tone in the line "and the songbirds keep singing, like they know the score." It just makes you realize that even though there is happiness in a relationship, there will be sadness too. And the lovers or friends don't know the "score", such as when the sadness or tough times will come, what the trying and unhappy situations will be, and what toll they will take on the relationship really are.. Maybe she was also remembering some tough times that they have already been through. "For you there'll be no more crying, for you the sun will be shining" could be her remembering comforting her lover during those times. The song may not relate to one specific relationship, but to ALL relationships.
Most agree it is song of wishes, much like a lullaby that a mother would sing to her young child. She wants the child to have all kinds of opportunities that she never had, or didn't take advantage of. The mother knows the child will grow up someday, but with this lullaby the child will always know how much their mother loves them. Here, the songbirds are like the watchers and the prophets.
It's also felt that Songbird acts as a counterpoint to the anger of some of the other Rumours songs such as 'Go Your Own Way'. It's nice and soothing to hear "It's alright, you know it's right," and " I love you like never before". She may have meant it to have that soothing effect, and maybe she knew that there would be tension on the record and that it needed a song like Songbird to be a relief from that tension.
In Christine McVie's own words, Songbird is "about nobody and everybody...in retrospect, it's like an anthem...a little prayer of sorts." What words could more aptly describe this incredible song.

Christine McVie (born Christine Anne Perfect on 12 July 1943, near Greenodd, Cumbria), is an English rock singer, keyboardist, and songwriter. Her primary fame came as a member of the British/American rock band Fleetwood Mac though she has also released three solo albums.
Christine was a big fan of Fleetwood Mac at the time and while touring with Chicken Shack the two bands would often run into each other. Encouraged to continue her career, she recorded a solo album, Christine Perfect, which she does not feel is among her better works. As Christine McVie, she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1970, just after marrying Fleetwood Mac bass guitarist John McVie. She had already contributed backup vocals, played keyboards, and painted the cover for Kiln House. The band had just lost founding member Peter Green and its members were nervous about touring without him. McVie had been a huge fan of the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, and since she knew all the lyrics to their songs, she went along. McVie quickly became an essential member of the group and the author of some of its finest songs, a position she would continue to hold for nearly 25 years.
The early 1970s was a rocky time for the band, with a revolving door of musicians, and only the albums Mystery to Me and Bare Trees scoring any successes. Furthermore, a group impersonating Fleetwood Mac was touring the United States without their permission. John McVie's alcohol drinking became unbearable, and Christine had an affair with a music producer.
In 1974, Christine McVie reluctantly agreed to move with the rest of the band to the US and make a fresh start. Within a year, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham of Buckingham Nicks joined the band, giving it an added dimension. Their first album together, 1975's Fleetwood Mac, had several hit songs, with McVie's "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me" both reaching Billboard's top-20 singles chart. It was "Over My Head" which first put Fleetwood Mac on American radio and into the national Top 40.
In 1976, McVie began an on-the-road affair with the band's lighting director, which inspired her to write "You Make Loving Fun", a top-10 hit on the landmark smash Rumours, one of the best-selling albums of all-time. Her biggest hit was "Don't Stop", which climbed all the way to #3 and has become identified forever as the song Bill Clinton played on the Presidential campaign trail and at his 1993 Inaugural Gala (McVie and the others performed there, as well as at the Super Bowl a few days later). The Rumours tour also included McVie's "Songbird", a ballad which would be the encore of many Fleetwood Mac concerts.
By the end of the Rumours tour, the McVies had divorced. The 1979 double album Tusk produced three more US top-20 hits ("Tusk",which is also the band's first music video, "Sara", and McVie's "Think About Me"), but it was considered a disappointment since it came nowhere near to matching the success of the Rumours album. The Tusk tour continued into 1980, following which the band took time apart. They reunited in 1981 to record the album Mirage at a chateau in France. The album, released in 1982, returned the band to the top of the US charts and also contained the top-5 hit "Hold Me", co-written by McVie. McVie's inspiration for the song was her tortured relationship with Beach Boys member Dennis Wilson.
In 1984, McVie decided to record another solo album, as most of the other band members had done by that point. She created hits with the songs "Got a Hold on Me" (Top 10 pop and #1 adult contemporary) and "Love Will Show Us How" (#30). McVie is quoted in The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits as saying of her solo album, "Maybe it isn't the most adventurous album in the world, but I wanted to be honest and please my own ears with it."
She also met keyboardist Eddy Quintela (12 years her junior), whom she married in October 1986. Quintela would go on to co-write many songs with her that would be featured on subsequent Fleetwood Mac albums. The couple divorced in the mid 1990s.
After covering the Elvis Presley standard "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" for the Howie Mandel film A Fine Mess, she rejoined Fleetwood Mac to record the Tango in the Night album, which went on to become the band's biggest success since Rumours ten years earlier. The biggest hit from the album was McVie's "Little Lies", co-written with her husband Quintela, which was top 5 in both the UK and US. Another McVie single from the album, "Everywhere", reached #4 in the UK which would be the band's third highest ever chart peak there and their final top 40 UK hit to date (the single peaked at #14 in the US).

I don't fool around on my baby
And he don't fool around on me
And I know when I need him
He'll be there for me
Ooh and if he asks me
some questions
Well, I don't tell him lies
And I don't have the need
The need for alibis
Chorus:
[ Letras de Canciones encontraron en es.mp3lyrics.org/C4b ]
I don't know how
Love will survive
But it's all right for now
Still I believe
Love will show us how
There must be a way
To keep it alive
And so keep our vows
And I believe
Love will show us how
Still I believe
Love will show us how
Repeat chorus

| | Never Forget - Christine McVie - Tribute - 217 sec
This is a song from the album Tusk (1979), however this one is slightly different.
Enjoy!!!
"Never Forget" is a song that fits right into Christine McVie's theme. She feels a love for a person, but feels pain in the love. She just needs the person to love her and "Never Forget" is another song where she is almost begging for it.
Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Could we ever forget tonight
Christine needs this love and is asking, "Why can't you love me like I love you? Why can't you get close to me?" Yet that night was special. Her man showed love for her in such a way that Christine knows they can never forget it.
Come on baby, let's take a stroll
You're feelin' warm so don't be cold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We'll never forget tonight
Christine is pretty much saying that she KNOWS he loves her, so he should show her. She wants it to be just the two of them for a long time. They were able to have a great night and Christine wants the feeling shared on that night to last forever.
What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me
Christine is so happy that she and her man were able to spend this special night together. Everything worked out perfect that night, even the stars were shining, and Christine was so happy, it felt like the stars were shining just for them. She was convinced that the stars shown just to make the evening better.
Come on baby, now don't you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh, ooh, ooh
We will never forget tonight
After a special night, Christine is trying to convince her man to keep loving her the way he did. Love is a special thing and Christine wants him to share it with her. Yet, no matter what, the night is unforgettable. The song end with, "It'll be alright, we'll never forget tonight". This is Christine's way of saying, "Let's use the love we had tonight in the future". They will never forget the way they felt that night. Christine is convinced that the night will be the thing that was needed in their relationship.
"Never Forget" is a great song, as are all of Christine's songs. "Never Forget" is a song that puts love before feelings of lonliness and confusion. Just like the rest of Christine's songs, it makes the listener ask, "What would Christine have done if she had a perfect love life?"
