lullaby of the leaves

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 found myself alone

cradle me with summer 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

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

you know

ooh

that fine melody caressing the shore

familiar to me

i've heard it before

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

lullaby of the leaves
