Green Trees Lullaby
Dreaming Under Green Trees: A Lullaby of Peaceful Slumber
Lyrics
How was your day today
Expression of concern or interest about the listener's day
How was your day today
Repetition for emphasis on the inquiry about the listener's day
I'm sure it was fun to play
Assumption that the listener had a enjoyable day playing
With so many toys
Reference to the abundance of toys
So many toys
Repetition emphasizing the plethora of toys
But now our eyes are getting heavy
Indication of drowsiness setting in
I'm feeling a little sleepy
Personal acknowledgment of feeling sleepy
Look at the stars in the sky
Encouragement to observe the stars in the night sky
Up above so very high
Description of the stars being high above
Let's close our eyes
Suggestion to close the eyes
And think of green trees
Transition to the mental image of green trees
On my count here we go
Preparation for a collective action or visualization
One, two, three
Counting for synchronization of closing eyes
Let's close our eyes
Reiteration of the suggestion to close the eyes
And think of green trees
Re-emphasis on thinking about green trees
On my count here we go
Reiteration for synchronized action
One, two, three
Counting for the synchronized action of closing eyes
You had such a great day
Acknowledgment of the listener's great day
I'm sure it was fun to play
Repetition of the assumption about the listener's enjoyable play
With toys oh so many
Reference to the multitude of toys played with
So many toys so many toys
Repetition emphasizing the abundance of toys
Let's close our eyes
Restating the suggestion to close the eyes
And think of green trees
Re-emphasis on thinking about green trees during relaxation
On my count here we go
Reiteration for synchronized closure of eyes
One, two, three
Counting for coordination of actions
Let's close our eyes
Reiteration of the suggestion to close the eyes for relaxation
And think of green trees
Re-emphasis on visualizing green trees for a peaceful state
On my count here we go
Reiteration for synchronized action of closing eyes
One, two, three
Counting to guide the synchronized relaxation process
One, two, three
Final counting for the collective action of closing eyes
