Rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby,
Days so long ago when I was a tot so
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 heavens 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 heaven, dont I feel it in my soul,
And dont I know I’ve reached my goal,
Oh sing me to sleep,
Lullaby of the Leaves
