Lullaby Of Birdland
Chris Cortez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 tell me farewell and goodbye

Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland




High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

Overall Meaning

This is a love song that compares the magic of being in love to the enchanting melodies of Birdland, a legendary New York City jazz club. The opening lines of the song, "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," set the scene for the romantic atmosphere that the song exudes. The singer equates their lover's sighs to the unforgettable music of Birdland and conveys the depth of their emotions, acknowledging that words would never be enough to express their feelings.


The second verse of the song draws inspiration from the sounds of nature, with the mention of "two turtle doves" who communicate their love through soft coos. The singer compares this organic music to the symphony of two lovers' kissing, beautifully stating "that's the kind of magic music we make with our lips when we kiss." The final verse brings the imagery full circle by returning to the concept of Birdland as a place of heightened emotion, where even the weeping willow trees seem to cry. The singer admits that they too would cry if they had to part from their lover but ends the song on a hopeful note, inviting their lover to kiss them and fly off high in Birdland, a place where everything is possible if you're in love.
