Billy Stritch and Jim Caruso - Lullaby of Birdland

Lullaby of Birdland that's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my word-land could there be words to reveal
In a phrase how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love
That's the kind of magic, music we make with our lips
When we kiss

And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland, high as the stars up above
All because we're in love

And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flying high in Birdland, high as the skies up above
All because, all because, all because we're in love
Lullaby of Birdland"
