Lullaby Of Birdland

Lullaby of Birdland (George Shearing)


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 in 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.
