Bring Me The Night
Sam Tsui Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day

So bring me the night, send out the stars
'Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You

Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away

So bring me the night, send out the stars
'Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you

And it's enough knowing you...
(I know that you're) are calling to me
While you're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you
So that I can get through
One more long and lonely day

So bring me the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to pretend that you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon
Please bring it soon, bring it soon

So bring me the night, send out the stars
'Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far (We don't seem so far)
Darken the sky and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,
Bring me the night,




Bring me the night
That brings me to you

Overall Meaning

In "Bring Me the Night," Sam Tsui and Kina Grannis sing about the longing and distance in a long-distance relationship. The song speaks to the feeling of measuring time in the spaces between goodbyes and waiting for the next time you'll see your loved one. The lyrics build on the idea of the power of dreaming to bring two people closer together, even when they're physically apart.


The chorus calls for the night to be brought, with its stars and moon, as this is the time when dreaming comes to play. Dreaming is the force that makes the distance between the two lovers seem insignificant, allowing them to find comfort in each other's imagined embrace. The song suggests that the night, with its darkness and quiet, allows room for the imagination to run free, bringing with it the possibility of a happy ending.


Overall, "Bring Me the Night" is a poignant and romantic song that touches on the universal experience of missing someone you love. The lyrics serve as a reminder that even when we're apart from those we care about, the power of imagination can bring us closer together.


Line by Line Meaning

Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Counting the days until we meet again, endlessly bidding each other farewell


Learning to wait through the endless parade
Trying to become patient and wait for the long-awaited reunion


Of our same old see-you-next-time's
Same old routine of saying goodbye with the hope to meet again


But when I close my eyes the miles melt away
When I imagine being with you, the distance between us disappears


Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day
It feels like you're right here with me, holding me at the end of the day


So bring me the night, send out the stars
Wishing for the darkness of night and the stars to help us feel closer


'Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
In dreams, the distance between us feels less and we feel closer


Darken the sky and light up the moon
Making the darkness more intense and brightening the moon to feel your presence


So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Hoping that you'll be with me soon, even though we're physically far apart


Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Feeling unsure if time is actually passing by slowly or if it's just how it feels


Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Constantly thinking and hoping for the day when we can finally be together again


Finally can be more than just a dream
Longing for the moment when our reunion stops being just a dream and becomes a reality


But when I close my eyes I want only to stay
Wishing to keep my eyes closed and stay in that moment of imagination


Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away
Feeling as though you're actually close to me, just one heartbeat away


And it's enough knowing you...
Knowing that you exist is enough to make me feel better


(I know that you're) are calling to me
Feeling as though you're calling out to me even though we're apart


While you're dreaming beneath the same moon
Thinking about how we're both under the same moon while we're dreaming


All it takes is imagining you
Just the act of imagining you is enough to make me feel better


So that I can get through
Imagining you helps me get through another lonely day


One more long and lonely day
Enduring yet another day of loneliness and distance


So bring me the night, tell me it's near
Hoping for the night to come soon and knowing that the distance will be less


Give me the chance to pretend that you're here
Just give me a moment to pretend that you're right here beside me


Please bring it soon, bring it soon
Desperately hoping for the time to come soon so we can finally, physically be together


Bring me the night,
Bringing on the darkness to help make us feel closer


Bring me the night,
Asking yet again for the night to come


Bring me the night,
Longing for the night that will bring us closer together


Bring me the night
That will finally bring me to you

Since you said millions of times, let's take one million
4:24 min= 264 sec
1 million × 264 = 264000000 sec
= 4400000min
= 73, 333.33 hours
= 3055.55 days
= 8.37 years.
The song came out 6 years ago.
You, sir are lying.

For the people who need it.

Measuring days in the spaces between our goodbyes
Learning to wait through the endless parade
Of our same old see-you-next-time's
But when I close my eyes, the miles melt away
Like you're here in my arms at the end of the day
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
You
Swear I don't know if the days are as slow as they seem
Wondering when you'll be with me again and this
Finally can be more than just a dream
But when I close my eyes, I want only to stay
Where the farthest you are is a heartbeat away
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you
And it's enough, knowing you (I know that you're) are calling to me
While we're dreaming beneath the same moon
All it takes is imagining you so that I can get through
One more long and lonely day
So bring me the night, tell me it's near
Give me the chance to pretend that you're here
Darken the sky and light up the moon
Please bring it soon (bring it soon)
So bring me the night, send out the stars
Cause when I'm dreaming we don't seem so far
Darken the sky, and light up the moon
So that somehow you'll be here with me soon
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
Bring me the night
That brings me to you

Whoever is the writer of this song (probably Kurt or Sam) has done a great job. It's lyrics are really very touching and the singers (Sam and Kina) made it even better.
Also the background music is very light and soft which makes it even more touching and emotional.
Thanks for giving us these kind of videos and songs.
