Lullaby of Birdland Songtext
von Mel Tormé

Lullaby of Birdland, that′s what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever seen two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss

And there′s a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye


Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we′ll go
Flyin′ high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
We're in love

When I hear the lullaby of Birdland
Crazy swing in lullaby of Birdland
All it seems to do is just remind me
That I am also in love, I don′t know what to do

When I hear the lullaby of Birdland
Crazy swing in lullaby of Birdland
All it seems to do is just remind me
Of the nights that I spent lovin' you

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we′ll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
And I know I discovered just why
I am so much in love, so much in love, baby with you
Lullaby, oh bye bye
