Sleep
Texas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think that you're the one
When every time you call me lady
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this just lately, yeah

Those heavenly calls
You knew I was on my own
Those heavenly calls
We stepped into the unknown

[Chorus]
Let me sleep
So I can dream of you
Let me sleep
So I can be with you

What's a girl to do when she's alone
With you just tell me
And here we are again yeah, acting
Like we're friends, just help me

Those heavenly calls
You knew I was on my own
Those heavenly calls
We stepped into the unknown

[Chorus x2]

Hold me close
Let me be with you

At least tonight
Won't be misunderstood

[Chorus x2]

Let me sleep
Oh let me sleep
Let me sleep so I can dream of you
Let me sleep so I can be with you
Let me sleep so I can dream of you
Let me sleep so I can be with you
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep
Let me sleep




Let me sleep
Let me sleep so I can be with you

Je me régale toujours quand j'écoute cette chanson 🤪😜👍🤣😍
Ce que je remarque chez Charleen, c'est sa façon qu'elle a de bien prononcer les paroles de cette chanson:
"Let me Sleep"!!
Avoir de beaux clips et les chansons qui vont avec. Pour moi c'est important👍😜🤪
Avoir une seule oreille, ne me permet de de bien entendre la musique et les paroles d'une chanson. Si la musique est forte, elle se mélange aux paroles
Mon cerveau est incapable de faire le tri. Tout entre par le même conduit auditif, donc par mon oreille gauche.
Alors quand j'entends à la fois les paroles de cette chanson. C'est un double plaisir.
Charleen sait faire entendre parfaitement les paroles de ses chansons et à la perfection 👍👍🤪😜😍🤣🤪🤪🤪😜😜
J'ai énormément de plaisir à fredonner en même temps que Charleen😜🤪🤣😍👍
Il est important de bien entendre les paroles d'une chanson. Dans mon cas, c'est très difficile de bien entendre une chanson, une émission, un film ou un reportage par exemple. Mon cerveau va entendre un son. Pour moi je pense avoir bien entendu et donc je vais répétée ce que je pense être bon !!!
Mais ce n'est pas le cas malheureusement!!!
C'est pour cela que je dis que Charleen a un don 👍😍🤣🤪😜
C'est beaucoup plus agréable de bien entendre et prendre plaisir à chanter en même temps qu'elle😜🤪🤪😍👍👍😍🤪😜
On se sent moins ridicule 👍🤪😜😍
Ce dont je me dis souvent. Il ne faut pas avoir honte de son handicap.. C'est nôtre propre corps et nous ont sommes responsables. Il faut faire en sorte qu'il ne soit pas un obstacle et nous empêche d'avancer dans la vie.
Je sais qu'il y a des enfants et adultes, qui ont de très gros handicaps.
Je dirais toujours qu'il y a bien pire que mes propres handicaps.

J'ai une passion, celle de l'écriture et c'est quelque chose qui me tient à cœur depuis l'âge de 14 ans. C'est l'âge où j'ai commencé à écrire un livre, puis 2, 3 et 4 !!!!.....
Le fait d'être malvoyante, est mon plus grand défi de ma vie de chaque jour.
A part l'écriture il y a la musique.....
Je remercie chaleureusement Charleen pour toutes ses chansons que je peux écouter et lire quand j'ai besoin d'être sûr de ce que j'entends.
Les 2 se complètent magiquement bien 😍😜🤪👍
