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 breezin' along, along with the breeze I'm hearin' a song, a song thru the trees Oooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh A fine melody caressing the shore Familiar to me, I've heard it before Oooh, 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
So, hum me to sleep Sing me to sleep Lullaby of the leaves
