Lullaby
Eternal Bonds: A Lullaby of Love and Legacy
Lyrics
Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
Expressing the end of the day, urging someone to sleep.
And save these questions for another day
Postponing deep or complex discussions for another time.
I think I know what you've been asking me
Claiming an understanding of the other person's unspoken questions.
I think you know what I've been trying to say
Suggesting mutual awareness of unspoken feelings or thoughts.
I promised I would never leave you
Making a commitment to stay with the person being addressed.
And you should always know
Reiterating the assurance of constant presence and support.
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
Emphasizing an enduring connection, regardless of physical distance.
I never will be far away
Reaffirming the promise of always being close emotionally.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
Repeating the bedtime ritual, urging sleep with affection.
And still so many things I want to say
Expressing a desire to convey more sentiments before sleep.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
Recalling shared memories of singing songs together.
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
Revisiting a specific memory of sailing in an emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean
Using a metaphor of a boat to represent the speaker's role.
I'm rocking you to sleep
Imagery of rocking someone to sleep, creating a sense of comfort.
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
Describing the depth of emotions within the speaker's heart.
You'll always be a part of me
Stating the enduring connection between the speaker and the listener.
Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
Repeating the bedtime wish, encouraging pleasant dreams.
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Encouraging the listener to dream about a positive future.
Someday your child may cry and if you sing this lullaby
Addressing the listener's future child and passing on the lullaby tradition.
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Assuring a lasting presence in the listener's heart through the lullaby.
Someday we'll all be gone
Contemplating the inevitability of everyone's departure.
But lullabies go on and on
Highlighting the timeless nature of lullabies, suggesting continuity.
They never die
Emphasizing the enduring quality of lullabies, symbolizing eternal connection.
That's how you and I will be
Concluding with the idea that the relationship will persist indefinitely.
