Long Distance Goodnite
Tiger Tunes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know
I'll be watching over you
Sleep now
Sleep tight and dream
Sweet dreams of me
And I'll be right there
You dream of birthday cakes, balloons
And mosquitoes in the sunlight
You look so pretty when you sleep
And I would kiss you if I could
The monsters from beneath your bed
Will stay inside tonight
They know I'm watching you
This is it
All birds have sung goodnight
Hell hail rock'n'roll
A choir in the sky
Hum those tiger tunes
This is it
Hum those tiger tunes
The lyrics of “Long Distance Goodnite” by Tiger Tunes are a lullaby that speaks to the lover of the singer who is far away. The song is a promise to watch over the lover as they sleep and protect them from the monsters beneath the bed. The singer also promises to be there when the lover wakes up, and they will have sweet dreams of each other. The mention of birthday cakes and balloons in the dream shows the innocence of the relationship as well as the love between the two.
The lyrics have a melancholic tone to them, as the singer is unable to be with their lover physically. The line “Goodnight try to sleep tight” also conveys a sense of worry, indicating that the singer is concerned about the safety of their lover when they are not together. The mention of “Hail hell rock’n roll” and “Hum those tiger tunes” in the end, suggests that the song is also a reminder of the shared music tastes between the two and the bond that they share even when they are miles apart.
