Getting late
Embrace the Night: A Serenade to Sweet Slumber
Lyrics
Getting late
Indication that time is passing and it's becoming late
It's getting late
Reiteration that the time is progressing towards late
Time to go to bed
Signal to prepare for sleep, acknowledging the end of the day
Another day will hopefully
Anticipation of a new day coming after the present one ends
Come again
Hopeful expectation for another day in the future
Focus will be to sleep
Intention to focus on sleeping
Till morning comes along
Waiting for morning to arrive
Check that you are enough fed
Ensuring that basic needs like food are fulfilled
And the visit to the loo is done
Preparing before bedtime by attending to personal needs
Then you are all set
Feeling prepared or ready for sleep
Lay yourself down
Instruction to lie down
Then you try to relax real good
Attempting to relax before falling asleep
Then you have to
Implying a necessity to relax before sleep
Repeat it again and again
Highlighting the need for repetition in the process of falling asleep
If you don't succeed
Encouragement to persist despite initial failure to fall asleep
Just don't give it up
Advising against giving up
Take a book and read for a while
Suggesting reading as a way to aid sleep
You'll see it will work
Assurance that reading will be helpful for sleep
Sleep so tight
Wishing for a deep and peaceful sleep
Goodnight, goodnight
Bidding goodnight
Sandman's here
Imagery referring to the Sandman, a folklore figure associated with sleep
It's time to rest a while
Time to relax and take a break in bed
In your bed
Encouragement to find comfort in bed
Cause you'll find
Implying the discovery of restfulness in bed
A restful and cosy
Describing the bed as a comfortable place
Stepping down to the earth and then back
Imagery suggesting descending into sleep and returning refreshed
Here again
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of sleep and waking up
That's what you do
Describing the routine upon waking up
When you wake up
Feeling rejuvenated after waking up
You're feeling so fresh and so nice
Expressing a positive and refreshed state upon waking
You can face a happy new day
Assurance that after waking up, one can face a new day happily
Once you wake up again you'll just wait
Implying a cycle of waiting for sleep again after waking up
