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 to sleep, lullaby of the leaves I'm breezing along, along with the breeze I'm hearing a song, a song through the trees Aha, aha, aha That fine melody caressing the shore Familiar to me, I've heard it before Aha aha aha That's Southland Don't I feel it in my soul And don't I know I've reached my goal Sing me to sleep, lullaby of the leaves
