Sleep
Embracing the Night: Unveiling the Sublime Meaning of 'Sleep' by Little Willie John
Lyrics
Sleep, sleep, sleep
To rest peacefully in slumber
How we love to sleep
Expressing fondness or enjoyment of sleeping
At the close of day
Referring to the end of the day
When the joys of the day fade away
When the pleasures or happiness of the day diminish
And the mem'ries sweet
Recalling pleasant memories
Of the days repeat
Repetition of enjoyable days
In our dreams they creep
Those memories invade our dreams
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
Emphasizing the act of sleeping
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Reiteration of the desire for sleep
How we love to sleep
Expressing fondness or enjoyment of sleeping (repeated)
At the close of day
Referring to the end of the day (repeated)
A-when the joys of the day fade away
When the pleasures or happiness of the day diminish (repeated)
And the mem'ries sweet
Recalling pleasant memories (repeated)
Of the days repeat
Repetition of enjoyable days (repeated)
In our dreams they creep
Those memories invade our dreams (repeated)
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
Emphasizing the act of sleeping (repeated)
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Reiteration of the desire for sleep (repeated)
How we love to sleep
Expressing fondness or enjoyment of sleeping (repeated)
At the close of day
Referring to the end of the day (repeated)
When the joys of the day fade away
When the pleasures or happiness of the day diminish (repeated)
And the mem'ries sweet
Recalling pleasant memories (repeated)
Of the days repeat
Repetition of enjoyable days (repeated)
In our dreams they creep
Those memories invade our dreams (repeated)
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
Emphasizing the act of sleeping (repeated)
