Details

Description

A 1932 popular song. Words by Joe Young. Music by Bernice Petkere.

Lyrics

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 find myself alone

Chorus
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 leaves
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
