Goodnight My Angel
Eternal Lullabies: Embracing Love Beyond Goodnight
Lyrics
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
Expressing a loving farewell to a cherished person, signaling the end of the day.
And save these questions for another day
Suggesting that deeper or complex questions should be deferred to another time.
I think I know what you've been asking me
Indicating an understanding of the recipient's inquiries or concerns.
I think you know what I've been trying to say
Implying mutual comprehension of unspoken thoughts or emotions.
I promised I would never leave you
Reaffirming a commitment to stay with the person being addressed.
And you should always know
Affirming a constant presence and support for the addressed individual.
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
Emphasizing an enduring connection regardless of physical distance.
I never will be far away
Reassuring that emotional closeness will persist despite physical separation.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
Repeating the affectionate farewell, signaling the end of the day and encouraging sleep.
And still so many things I want to say
Expressing a lingering desire to communicate additional thoughts or feelings.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
Recalling shared memories of songs sung, possibly during a meaningful experience.
When we went sailing on an Emerald Bay
Referencing a specific memory of sailing together on Emerald Bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean
Using a metaphor of a boat on the ocean to convey a comforting, rocking sensation.
I'm rocking you to sleep
Continuing the metaphor, ensuring a sense of security and comfort.
The water's dark and deep
Describing the depth and mystery of emotions within the metaphorical "ancient heart."
Inside this ancient heart
Stating that the addressed person will always hold a special place in the speaker's heart.
You'll always be a part of me
Repeating the nighttime farewell, urging the listener to enter the realm of dreams.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
Encouraging the listener to imagine a wonderful future while dreaming.
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Anticipating a future where the addressed person may have their own child.
Someday your child may cry
Suggesting that singing this lullaby to the listener's child will maintain a connection.
And if you sing this lullabye
Reiterating that a part of the speaker will always be present in the listener's heart.
Then in your heart
Acknowledging the inevitability of mortality and the passing of all individuals.
There will always be a part of me
Asserting the enduring nature of lullabies and the emotional connection between individuals.
Someday we'll all be gone
Highlighting the timeless quality of lullabies and their ability to transcend mortality.
But lullabyes go on and on
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of the emotional connection represented by lullabies.
They never die, that's how you and I will be
Concluding with the idea that the emotional bond expressed through lullabies will endure.
