Rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby
Days so long ago when I was a tot so high
And now that I have grown
I've found 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 heavens 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 thru the trees,
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh.
That fine 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.
