Lyrics
Evening sun is going down
Observation of the evening sun setting.
Out on the ocean
Describing a location by the ocean.
Wind is blowin round and round
Noting the blowing wind in a circular motion.
And this is your home
Declaring the place as the listener's home.
It's our home now
Emphasizing the shared ownership of the home.
Here's the place we go to sleep
Identifying the location where sleep occurs.
And here is your garden
Pointing out a garden associated with the home.
I've got one arm for each of you
Expressing the speaker's commitment to care for each child.
One lullaby for two
Acknowledging the need for a lullaby for two individuals.
Now it's time to close our eyes
Signaling the time to close one's eyes for sleep.
Dream and have no fear
Encouraging the listener to dream without fear.
The monster's gone he's on the run
Assuring that any fears (represented by the "monster") are gone.
And your mom is here
Reassurance of the mother's presence.
It's your lullaby
Highlighting the lullaby as a personal and comforting experience.
There will be joy and there'll be pain
Acknowledgment of both joy and pain in life.
You will find out it's just the same
Stating the inevitability of experiencing both sides of life.
This is your life that now begins
Marking the beginning of the listener's life journey.
Here you belong my pair of twins
Declaring a sense of belonging for the twins.
Will you be patient with your mom
Pleading for patience from the twins in the future.
Some day you'll follow up the sun
Anticipating the twins' exploration and growth.
I'll be forever by your side
Promise of enduring support from the speaker.
And you will hear from time to time
Assurance of occasional communication through lullabies.
Your first lullaby
Mentioning the significance of the first lullaby in the twins' lives.
