The Pips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

Before you go
Please remember I need you so
And this love I have for me
Will never go cold

If you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
Just close your eyes
Then you realize
That my love will watch over you, dear, always

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love
May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

If you should awake in the still of the night
Please have no fear
Just close your eyes
Then you realize
That my love will watch over you, dear, always

Goodnight, my love
Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, my love




May tomorrow be sunny and bright
And bring you closer to me

Overall Meaning

The Pips's song Whistle My Love, with its sweet and soothing melody, is a message of love and reassurance. The song starts with a simple but heartfelt goodbye as the singer bids goodnight to their lover. They hope for pleasant dreams and a good sleep with a wish for a bright tomorrow that will bring them closer to each other. The second verse expresses the singer's desire to ensure that their lover knows how important they are to them. They plead for them to remember their love and assure them it will never grow cold.


The chorus repeats the same message of goodnight, sweet dreams, and hope for a better tomorrow. The bridge of the song is especially poignant as it offers comfort to the lover if they should awaken in the middle of the night. The singer asks them to not be afraid and to close their eyes to feel their love watching over them. The final part of the song is a repeat of the chorus as the singer bids goodnight once more and reaffirms their love.


The song's lyrics are simple, but they express the timeless message of love and offer comfort and reassurance. The melody, too, is soft and gentle, creating a soothing and calming effect that makes it the perfect lullaby.

So this is what Gladys Knight and The Pips sounded like back in the 1950s when they were still listed on their records as just The Pips. Cool!

Avery Pack

This was their very first record.

And I love that title "Dustyologist"
