Lullaby Of Broadway
Harry Roy & Bill Currie With Harry Roy And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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

Line by Line Meaning
Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I
The sweet melody of Birdland is what I always hear when you sigh
Always hear when you sigh
Whenever you sigh, the melody of Birdland always seems to follow
Never in my wordland
There's no word or expression that can quite convey my emotions
Could there be ways to reveal
It's hard to express how I really feel through words
In a phrase how I feel
Trying to sum up my feelings in a single expression is not possible
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Do you know how two in love turtle doves sound like?
Bill and coo when they love?
They make soft murmuring sounds when they are in love
That's the kind of magic
This particular music we make with our lips when we kiss has that same magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
When we kiss, the music we create with our lips has that same inexplicable magic
And there's a weepy old willow
There is a sad, old willow tree
He really knows how to cry
Which seems to weep and cry, much like how I would if you decided to say goodbye
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
Much the same way I would hide my face in my pillow and weep if we had to part ways
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
If you were to tell me that we had to say goodbye to each other
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
So, let's whisper softly the melody of Birdland like a lullaby
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Give me a sweet kiss and we'll take this moment to fly high with love
Flyin' high in Birdland
Let's escape to that magical place called Birdland
High in the sky up above
Where we can be amongst the clouds and sky above
All because we're in love
All this is possible because of the love we share
