Lyrics Melancholy Lullaby - Helen O'Connell, Jimmy Dorsey

Melancholy Lullaby

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
