Lullaby Of The Leaves

Rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby,

In the sunny South when I was a tot so high,

And now that I have grown

And myself alone.



Cradle me where Southern skies can watch me with a million eyes,

Oh sing me to sleep,

Lullaby of the leaves

Cover me with heaven's blue and let me dream a dream or two,

Oh sing me to sleep,

Lullaby of the leaves.



I'm breezing along, along with the breeze,

I'm hearing a song, a song through the trees,

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.

That pine melody caressing the shore familiar to me, I've heard it before,

Ooh ooh ooh ooh.



That's Southland, don't I feel it in my soul,

And don't I know I've reached my goal,

Oh sing me to sleep,

Lullaby of the leaves.
