And So To Bed
Jack Pleis and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ding dong, ding dong,
Slumber time,
The moon descends
And so to bed.
The music ends
And go to bed.

Should auld acquaintance linger in your heart,
Then don't forget we're just a dream apart!
Tomorrow night seems years away,
But after all it's just a day!
And I'll remember every word you said,
I love you so, and so to bed,

And so to bed!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song And So To Bed by Jack Pleis and his orchestra describe the end of the day and the need for slumber. The opening lines "Ding dong, ding dong, Slumber time, The moon descends" create a sense of relaxation and the need for rest. As the music comes to an end, the lyrics indicate that it is time to retire for the night.


The following stanza, "Should auld acquaintance linger in your heart, Then don't forget we're just a dream apart! Tomorrow night seems years away, But after all it's just a day!" speaks of the transient nature of time and the fleeting nature of relationships. It urges one to treasure the present moment and not hold on to past acquaintances that may just be a dream apart; while at the same time reminding us that tomorrow is just another day.


The final line "And I'll remember every word you said, I love you so, and so to bed, And so to bed!" speaks directly to the idea of appreciating the present moment and those who are dear to us. It suggests the importance of expressing love to those we care about and cherishing those memories.

@GPNETTO1

Fantástico o seu catálogo de LPs instrumentais das décadas de 50 e 60. Continue a nos presentear com a verdadeira música, com orquestras que, infelizmente não existem mais!

@rosiangeldedios8794

la música, si que existe, gracias a estos señores, que tan amablemente, nos regalan nuestros oidos; pero que será de éstas músicas cuando nadie las ponga? el mundo dejará de escuchar la verdadera música, que nos llega al alma
