4   4 -3* 3*  3    -2   -1     -2  2
Lul-la-by of bird-land that's what I
1   3    -2    1*   4   -3*
Al-ways hear, when you sigh,
-5*-5* 5* 4   -3*   3*   -2     4 -3*
Nev-er in my word-land could there be 
2    4 -3*  -1*
ways to re-veal
-3* 3*  1*    3* 3  1
In  a phrase how I feel.

4     4 -3* 3*   3   -2  -1  -2    2
Have you ev-er heard two tur-tle doves
1     3  -2   1*   4    -3*
Bill and coo when they love?
-5*    -5*  5*  4  -3* 3*
That's the kind of mag-ic 
-2  4 -3*  2    4   -3*  -1*
Mus-ic we make with our lips
-1*  3   3*
When we kiss

4     5*   -5  -5* 5 -5*  4* -3*
And there's a weep-y old wil-low
-3* -4  4   4*   -3* 4*  4
He real-ly knows how to cry
4       4* -5  -5* 5 -5*  4* -3*
That's how I'd cry in my pil-low
-3* -4   4     4* -3*  4*   4    4*   4  -3*
If you should tell me fare-well and good-bye

4   4 -3* 3*  3    -2   -1  -2   2
Lul-la-by of bird-land whis-per low
1     3  -2     1*   4  -3*
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
-5* -5*  4*  4   -3*  3*
Fly-ing high in bird-land, 
-2   4  -3*  2  4 -3* -1*
high in the sky up a-bove
-3* 3*   1*   3*   3   1
All be-cause we're in love

REPEAT & end with:

2   -2   4     4   4   3*
All be-cause we're in love
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
