Lullaby of Birdland (with Carroll Thompson)

Lullaby of birdland, that's what I always hear when you sigh

Never in my wordland could there be

Words 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 weeping willow

He really knows how to cry

That's how I cry in my pillow

If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland whisper low

Kiss me sweet and then we'll go

Flyin' high in birdland, high in the sky up above

All because we're in love

There's a weeping willow

She really knows how to cry

That's how I cry in my pillow

If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland whisper low

Kiss me sweet and then we'll go

Flyin' high in birdland, high in the sky up above

All because we're in love
