S Club 7 became very popular in the UK and America with their show, Miami 7, which changed name to L.A. 7 in a later season. Accompanying the show were TV length movies. S Club 7 reached a high level of fame with such hit singles such as: Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, Don't Stop Movin and Have You Ever.
The group changed their name to S Club. The name was changed due to the loss of Paul, who left to pursue other endeavours. They eventually split in 2003 amid rumours of drug and alcohol problems for members and internal struggles between the cast members. Rachel Stevens is the only member who has gone on to find any significant solo success.
S Club Juniors (also known as S Club 8) were a less successful spin-off group, who were made up of teenagers and pre-teens.
S Club 7's reunion was confirmed in 2014. The group performed for that year's BBC Children in Need and also toured across the UK the following year.
Let Me Sleep
S Club 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadows on the wall
Forming outlines of your face
I reach out to touch you
Through time and through space
In my dreams I´m always with you
So let me sleep
In my dreams I´m with you
Ooh, oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
I´ll always be with you
Oh oh, ohh
Baby
I dream that you´re here with me
Lying by my side
This won´t last forever
Let´s catch the sands of time
I don´t want ever to end
So let me sleep
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
In my dreams I´m with you
Ooh, oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
I´ll always be with you
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Just let me sleep
Oh oh, yeah
So let me sleep
Oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
In my dreams I´m with you
Ooh, oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh oo-oo-ooh
I´ll always be with you
Let me sleep for a while let me dream of your smile
In my dreams I´m with you
Let me sleep for a while let me dream of your smile
I´ll always be with you
(Repeat to fade)
The lyrics of S Club 7's "Let Me Sleep" depict a longing for the presence of a loved one. The singer of the song is dreaming of their partner, unable to let go of the connection they share even when awake. The shadows on the wall form outlines of their face, and the singer reaches out to touch them through both time and space. In their dreams, they're always together, and they never want to wake up. The songwriters use the metaphor of catching the sands of time to indicate a desire to hold onto the present moment forever.
The chorus repeats the sentiment of wanting to stay asleep and keep dreaming of their loved one. The singer pleads with the listener to let them sleep, and insists that they will always be with their partner even in dreams. The song ends with the singer asking for permission to sleep for a while and dream of their partner's smile.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and yearning for a connection that transcends time and space. The singer is so desperate to hold onto this connection that they're willing to stay asleep and dream forever. The metaphor of sand slipping through fingers indicates a fear of losing something precious and fleeting.

Shadows on the wall
The shadows on the wall resemble the outline of your face
Forming outlines of your face
The shadows on the wall create the shape of your face
I reach out to touch you
I try to touch you but can't because you're not really there
Through time and through space
Despite distance and time, I still think of you
In my dreams I'm always with you
Whenever I dream, I'm always with you
So let me sleep
I want to stay asleep and keep dreaming of you
I'll always be with you
Even if I can't be with you in real life, I'll always be with you in my dreams
I dream that you're here with me
In my dreams, you're always right by my side
Lying by my side
I imagine us lying together in my dream
This won't last forever
I know this dream won't last forever but I still want to stay in it as long as possible
Let's catch the sands of time
Let's try to hold on to this dream for as long as possible
I don't want ever to end
I don't want this dream to end
Let me sleep for a while let me dream of your smile
Let me stay asleep so I can dream of your smile

One of S Clubs songs that gives me the chills. Love it!

Yes ... I totally agree with you, but ... for me, this is the best song on this album ... by far! :)

There's a lot of songs on Seeing Double that should have been singles. It's a shame Paul left and sort of broke the band, because this album was really good and deserved more success.
Brittany Victor
