Lullaby Of Birdland
Reeves Dianne 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

The song expresses the indescribable feeling of being in love and how the simplest things, like a lullaby, can bring so much joy.

The second stanza of the song describes the beauty of love and compares it to the cooing of two turtle doves. The singer says that the kind of music they make with their lips when they kiss is magical. This is followed by a reference to a weeping willow, which is usually associated with sadness.
