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.
