"Lullaby of Birdland" - Cover by Becky Foster and Charlie Malolo

"Lullaby of Birdland" - Cover by Becky Foster and Charlie Malolo
Music by George Shearing
Lyrics by George David Weiss
The first time I heard Charlie play guitar, and was blown away by his talent, was over 20 years ago, as we were both young college students studying music at Utah State University. We quickly became friends and gigged together for at least 5 years. So to collab after such a long break was an absolute blast and treat!
Enjoy our reunion as we duet this 1950's jazz classic!

Lyrics:
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 turtledoves
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 'ol willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry on my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby by 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
And there's a weepy 'ol 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 by 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
