Long Distance Lullaby
Embracing Love Across Miles: Long Distance Yearning
Lyrics
One more hotel room
Expressing the repetitiveness of staying in different hotel rooms.
One more night away from you
Conveying the feeling of being separated from a loved one for another night.
One more phone call
Highlighting the routine of making another phone call to reassure the loved one.
To say I'll be home soon
Assuring the anticipation of returning home soon.
I'm just so tired
Expressing weariness from the emotional and physical distance.
Of all the distance in between
Acknowledging the challenges posed by the physical separation.
All I really need is you with me
Stating the ultimate desire for the presence of the loved one.
I miss your voice, I miss your smile
Expressing the yearning for the partner's voice and smile.
I wish I could give you
Wishing for the ability to convey affection over a long distance.
A kiss from a thousand miles
Using distance as a metaphor for separation but desiring to bridge it.
Sleep well, my love
Wishing the loved one a peaceful sleep.
Tonight when you close your eyes
Expressing a hope for the loved one to feel comforted during sleep.
Hear my long distance lullaby
Introducing the concept of a "long distance lullaby" as a soothing gesture.
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la
Repeating a comforting melody ("la la la") to reinforce the lullaby theme.
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la
-I know it's hard when I'm so far away
Acknowledging the difficulty of being physically distant from the loved one.
And these words can only go so far to say
Recognizing the limitation of words in expressing emotions from afar.
I miss you're voice, I miss your smile
Reiterating the longing for the partner's voice and smile.
I wish I could give you
Expressing the desire to convey affection across a vast distance.
A kiss from a thousand miles
Using distance as a measure but expressing a wish to connect emotionally.
Sleep well my love
Wishing the loved one a peaceful sleep once again.
Tonight when you close your eyes
Repeating the hope for comfort during the loved one's sleep.
Hear my long distance lullaby
Reassuring the use of a "long distance lullaby" for comfort.
La la la la (just close your eyes)
Repeating the comforting "la la la" melody, emphasizing closure and reunion.
La la la la (I'm coming home)
-La la la la (you'll hear me singing)
-La la la la (I know it's hard)
-La la la la (I'm coming home)
-La la la la (and we'll be singing la la)
