Lullaby of Birdland Lyrics

Lullaby of Birdland
That's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my word-land
Could there be ways to repeal
In a phrase, how I feel

Have you ever heard two turtledoves
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'll cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

She compares the intimate moments between lovers to the magical music created by two turtledoves. The song also explores the vulnerability that comes with deep affection, as she talks about weeping like a willow tree if her lover leaves. The repeated plea for whispered words and sweet kisses reveals her desire to stay in this euphoric state of love, soaring high above in their own 'birdland'. This song beautifully captures the highs and lows of being in love, from euphoria to potential heartbreak.
