Lullaby of the Leaves Songtext
von Anita O’Day

Cradle me where southern skies
Can watch me with a million eyes
Sing me to sleep
Lullaby of the leaves

Cover me where heaven′s blue
And let me dream a dream or two
Sing me to sleep
Lullaby of the leaves

I'm breezing along, along with the breeze
Hearing a song, a song through the trees
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, blue
Fine melody caressing the shore
Familiar to me, I′ve heard it before
That's Southland


Don't I feel it in my soul?
And don′t I know I′ve reached my goal?
Sing me to sleep
Lullaby of the Leaves

I'm breezing along, along with the breeze
Hearing a song, a song through the trees
It didn′t do, it didn't do
But fine melody caressing the shore
Familiar to me, I′ve heard it before
That's Southland

Don′t I feel it in my soul?
And don't I know I've reached my goal?
Sing me to sleep
Lullaby of the Leaves
Lullaby of the Leaves
