Lyrics
Lullaby of birdland
That’s what I always hear
When you sigh
Never in my word-land
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
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we’re in love
