Lullaby Of Birdland

George Shearing · Jazz Foundations Vol. 34 [2010]

Lullaby of Birdland, that's what

I always hear when you sigh

Never in my woodland

Could there be words to reveal

In a phrase how I feel



Have you ever heard 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 ol' willow

He really knows how to cry

That's how I cry on my pillow

If you should tell me

Farewell and goodbye



Lullaby of Birdland, whisper low

Kiss me sweet and we'll go

Flyin' high in Birdland

High in the sky up above

All because we're in love
