Say Goodnight
Bedtime Tales of Love: Saying Goodnight
Lyrics
Down the hall and up the stairs
Refers to the physical movement down a hallway and up a flight of stairs.
Pull along your teddy bear
Carry your teddy bear along with you.
I will be here say goodnight
Assurance that the speaker will be present to say goodnight.
Say goodnight
Encouragement to bid goodnight.
I know you want to stay up late
Acknowledges the desire to stay awake but implies it's not suitable for the current age.
Maybe when you're seven or eight
Implies a future possibility of staying up late when older.
I will be here say goodnight
Reiterates the speaker's availability to say goodnight.
Say goodnight
Encouragement to bid goodnight.
Always know you're wanted here
Reassurance of being wanted within the speaker's presence.
Always know you matter
Affirmation of the listener's importance.
Always know it's always clear
Emphasizes the clarity of the speaker's feelings.
Take that with you
Encouragement to remember these sentiments.
One more story one more book
Request for another story or book before bedtime.
One more under the bed we look
Mention of checking under the bed for assurance.
I will be here say goodnight
Reaffirmation of being present to say goodnight.
Say goodnight
Encouragement to bid goodnight.
Always know you're wanted here
Reassurance of being wanted within the speaker's presence.
Always know you matter
Affirmation of the listener's importance.
Always know it's always clear
Emphasizes the clarity of the speaker's feelings.
Take that with you
Encouragement to remember these sentiments.
Cats in hats and teddy bears
Repetition of the presence of comforting objects like cats in hats and teddy bears.
Cats in hats and teddy bears
-Always know you're wanted here
Reassurance of being wanted within the speaker's presence.
Always know you matter
Affirmation of the listener's importance.
Always know it's always clear
Emphasizes the clarity of the speaker's feelings.
Take that with you
Encouragement to remember these sentiments.
One more kiss and close your eyes
Request for one more kiss before bedtime.
Before you know the sun will rise
Acknowledgment of the impending sunrise.
I will be here say goodnight
Reiterates the speaker's availability to say goodnight.
Say goodnight I will be here say goodnight.
Encouragement to bid goodnight with the speaker present.
