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 breezing along, along with the breeze
I?m hearing a song, a song thru the trees
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
That pine 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
