LULLABY OF BIRDLAND

Words by George David Weiss

Music by 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!
