lullaby of the leaves

rustling of the leaves used to be my lullaby, days so long ago when i was a tot so high, and now that i have grown, i found myself alone, cradle me with summer 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, 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, you know, ooh, that fine melody caressing the shore, familiar to me, i've heard it before, 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, lullaby of the leaves
