Oh, 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 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 old willow
He really knows how to cry,
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high
in the sky up above
All because were in love
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland, high
in the sky up above
All because were in love
