Lullaby Of The Leaves Lyrics

LULLABY OF THE LEAVES
Connee Boswell
Words by Joe Young
Music by
Bernice Petkere

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.
