Sleep
Billy Vaughn & His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How we love to sleep
At the close of day
When the joys of the day fade away and the memories sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
It seems that daytime was just made for laughter and song
Night time brings rest to the weary
Sooths all the hearts that are dreary
Leaves us alone with our day dreams
Brings back sweet golden love dreams while we sleep, sleep, sleep
How we love to sleep
At the close of day
When the joys of the day fade away and the memories sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep
Billy Vaughn & his Orchestra's song "Sleep" is a sweet lullaby that celebrates the joys of sleep. The lyrics are simple but powerful in their description of the joys that sleep provides. The opening lines of the song, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, how we love to sleep," set the tone for a relaxing and calming experience. The first verse reflects on the memories of the day and how they creep into our dreams when we sleep. The second verse talks about the different moods of the day - laughter and song during the day, and romance and rest at night. The night brings a sense of calm and solace after a long and tiring day, and the dreams take us back to the sweet moments of the day or even to the happy memories of the past. The song celebrates the beauty of sleep as a means to forget the struggles of the day and let our minds wander into a peaceful sleep.
