Lullaby Of Birdland

(album: The Rarities - 2020)

'Cause it's a chanteuse, darling, I'm a chanteuse
I'm on the stage
Gotta feel it
I'm on the piano, you know how good this feels?
When I was little, I would be in lingerie on the piano
At like, 13
Appropriate? Not really
But it's me, and I can't help it

Lullaby of birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways 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'd cry in my pillow
If you should say farewell and goodbye

Ooh, lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet, then we'll go
Flying high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

And there's a weepy old willow
And he really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should say
Fare thee well and goodbye

Lullaby of birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet then we'll go
Flying high in birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
In love
I'm so in love with you, boy
All because we're in love
And all because
I can't live without you
I won't live without you
I'm making up something
But that don't mean nothing 'cause it's
In love

He said let me grab that
Before it becomes a tangent
