Lullaby of Birdland - Ella Fitzgerald 4/25/17- 6/15/96

Back


Music: George Shearing (1919 - )
Lyrics: George David Weiss (1921 - )

Oh, 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
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby

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
Flying high in birdland, high in the sky up above
All because we're in love

Sorry dskennie, it's the other way around. Sarah Vaughn attempted to interpolate Ella's version...

no i was talking about Amy Winehouse in the song "October Song", where she borrows the melody of this song, and I was saying that i think she borrowed from Sarah's version seeing that she's a fan supposedly

Sarah Vaughan's rendition of this song is much, much better.
Nice performance, though.
