Lullaby Of The Leaves Lyrics - Billy Eckstine

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 

Sing me to sleep 

Lullaby of the leaves 

Cover me with heaven's blue 

And let me dream a dream or two 

Sing me to sleep 

Lullaby of the leaves 

I'm breezing along, along with the breeze 

I'm hearing a song, a song through the trees 

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 

That fine melody caressing the shore 

Familiar to me, I've heard it before 

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, that's Southland
