Melancholy Lullaby
Melancholy lullaby,
Coming from a trouble sky
Ringing through the clinging vine
Right into this heart of mine
Melancholy lullaby,
Listen to the nightwind sigh,
How can I expect to sleep
When I lay me down to weep?
Your love has cooled
From flame to ice
And I've been fooled
Into a fool?s paradise...
Hear the music of the rain
Beating on my window pane
Wish that I could say goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby...
Writer/s: Benny Carter / Edward Heyman
