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.
