Melancholy Lullaby - Helen O'Connell, Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra

Melancholy lullaby

Coming from a troubled sky

Winging through the clinging vine

Right into this heart of mine

Melancholy lullaby

Listen to the night wind 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
