Intro: Verse 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 Melody 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 through the trees Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh That pine melody caressing the shore Familiar to me, I've heard it before Ooh, 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
