Let The Sun Fall Down
Kim Richey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close the door
And leave the world behind you
Open a window
Listen to the breeze flow through the pines
Take a deep breath
What more can you do...

Chorus:
Let the sun fall down
All around you
And let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down...

That old dark cloud
Acts like he knows you
Takes up to much time,
Time you could be spending holding me
And he can't have you now
It's you and me here in this room
Ohh Ohh...

Let the sun fall down
All around you
And let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down...

The world will keep on turning
It'll all be there come morning
So tonight...

Let the sun fall down
All around you
And let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight
I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down...

Ohh Ohh...

Let the sun fall down
All around you
And let the night surround you
In a blanket of starlight




I'll whisper you a lullaby
Let the sun fall down...

The soothing lullaby complete with the beautiful evening view encourages the listener to let go of their worries and enjoy the moment.


In the second verse, the singer suggests that there is an old dark cloud that acts like it knows the listener and takes up too much of the listener's time, time that could be spent holding the singer. The singer reassures the listener that the cloud has no right to them now that they are together, and they can enjoy the moment. The bridge of the chorus suggests that the world will keep on turning and everything will be the same tomorrow. So, tonight, the listener should let the sun fall around them while letting the night embrace them under the starry sky.

Line by Line Meaning

Close the door
Shut out the outside world


And leave the world behind you
Forget about everything that's happening outside of this room


Open a window
Let some fresh air in


Listen to the breeze flow through the pines
Hear the calming sound of wind blowing through the trees


Take a deep breath
Breathe in slowly and feel yourself relax


What more can you do...
There's nothing else you need to worry about right now


Let the sun fall down
Let the day come to an end


All around you
Surrounding you in its warm glow


And let the night surround you
Let the darkness embrace you


In a blanket of starlight
With stars twinkling above us


I'll whisper you a lullaby
I'll soothe you with my voice


That old dark cloud
A metaphor referring to a problem or concern


Acts like he knows you
It feels like it's taking control of you


Takes up to much time,
It's draining you of energy and attention


Time you could be spending holding me
You could be using that time to be close to me


And he can't have you now
That problem or concern can't keep you from me any longer


It's you and me here in this room
We're all that matters right now


The world will keep on turning
Life will go on without us


It'll all be there come morning
We can deal with everything else tomorrow


So tonight...
Let's just focus on being together tonight


Ohh Ohh...
Vocals to add emotion to the song


Let the sun fall down
Repeating the idea of letting the day end


All around you
Surrounding you with warmth again


And let the night surround you
Being okay with the darkness


In a blanket of starlight
Repeating the same image from before


I'll whisper you a lullaby
Another repetition of comforting words


Let the sun fall down...
Closing out the song with this idea once more
