Love Me to Sleep
Embrace the Night: Hot Chocolate's Serenade to Healing and Renewal
Lyrics
Long nights
Expressing the duration of sleepless nights.
Those everything wrong nights -
Referring to nights filled with mistakes or regrets.
I used to lie awake and play for morning to come
Describing the anticipation for morning to arrive.
It sees like years before my tears dried in the sun
Conveying the extended period of sadness, with tears taking time to dry.
'cause you had gone.
Acknowledging the departure of a significant person.
So love me to sleep tonight
Requesting comfort and love to induce sleep.
Kiss away the pain of all those mem'ries one by one
Asking for affection to alleviate the pain associated with memories.
And show me the river still runs strong and deep
Desiring reassurance that emotions are still strong and enduring.
Tonight my love - love me to sleep.
Reiterating the plea for love and comfort to induce sleep.
Slow now
Encouraging a slow and deliberate approach to the situation.
We can't let it go now
Emphasizing the importance of not letting go of the current moment.
Here in my arms you've got a perfect place to hide
Describing the speaker's embrace as a safe haven.
If you've got doubts why don't we let the night decide
Suggesting that uncertainties can be resolved by letting the night unfold.
Just let it ride.
Encouraging acceptance and going with the flow.
And love me to sleep tonight
Repeating the request for love to induce sleep, emphasizing its importance.
Kiss away the pain of all those mem'ries one by one
Reiterating the need for affection to ease the pain of memories.
