Lullaby of the Leaves lyrics

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

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

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

That fine melody caressing the shore

Familiar to me, I've heard it before

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that's Southland

Don't I feel it in my soul

And don't I know I've reached my goal

Sing me to sleep

Lullaby of the leaves
