Goodnight My Angel
Sweet Dreams Unveiled: Exploring the Heartfelt Lullaby by Celtic Woman
Lyrics
Goodnight my angel
Expressing farewell to the beloved person referred to as "angel."
Time to close your eyes
Encouraging the person to sleep by closing their eyes.
And save these questions for another day
Advising to defer deep or difficult questions for another time.
I think I know what you've been asking me
Suggesting understanding of the unspoken inquiries from the other person.
I think you know what I've been trying to say
Implying mutual understanding of each other's feelings or intentions.
I promise I would never leave you
Making a promise to never abandon or depart from the person.
And you should always know, I never will be far away
Assuring closeness and constant presence in the person's life.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
Reiterating the farewell to the beloved person for the night, signaling sleep time.
And still so many things I want to say
Expressing unfinished thoughts or things left unsaid.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
Encouraging the person to remember the songs they sang together.
When we went sailing on a emerald bay
Recalling a shared experience of sailing on an emerald bay, possibly a cherished memory.
And like a boat out on the ocean
Comparing oneself to a boat on an ocean, comforting and lulling the person to sleep.
I'm rocking you to sleep
Describing the act of soothing the person to sleep in a comforting manner.
The water is dark and deep inside this mother's heart
Metaphorically illustrating the depth of love and protection felt within a mother's heart.
You'll always be a part of me
Affirming a lasting connection, emphasizing the person's eternal presence in the speaker's life.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
Repeating the goodnight sentiment and urging the person to dream.
And dream how wonder your life will be
Encouraging hopeful and wondrous thoughts about the person's future.
Some day a child may cry and if you sing this lullaby
Suggesting the potential for the song to console a future child and keep a memory alive.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Expressing the enduring presence of the speaker in the person's heart through the lullaby.
