Golden Slumbers
Mae Robertson (Children's) Lyrics

The lyrics of Mae Robertson's "Golden Slumbers" show a soothing and comforting lullaby that a mother sings to her child. The song describes how there was once a way to get back homeward and that the child should not cry because the mother will always be there to sing a lullaby until she falls asleep. The words "golden slumbers" remind the child that there are always better days ahead and that happiness is waiting when she wakes up in the morning. The mother is the protective figure that assures her child and provides her with a sense of security and love.

The lyrics of this song were inspired by a poem by Thomas Dekker, a playwright during the Elizabethan era, named "Cradle Song, Golden Slumbers". In the original poem, Dekker writes about a mother singing a lullaby to her sleeping child. The song has been interpreted and covered by several musicians, such as The Beatles, Jennifer Hudson, and Mae Robertson.
