Goodnight Laura Lyrics

Goodnight Laura, don't you know
your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping?

Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
you words are meant to stop at night
you know they're not for keeping

If you want to fall asleep be very still
and you close your eyes, and slow yourself
and let the worry leave you, and let go if it all just for this evening

Alright
Alright

You can fall asleep by being very still
as you let your breath slow down
and when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
they are sweet ones

Don't you know, Laura, you're alright?
You're alright

Some cat told me this is about Laura Bush.

I'd like to meet that cat. I'm sorry I'll get my coat.

But yeah I can't think of a clearer example of a lullaby then this.

This is the explaination I got:

e> Goodnight Laura, don't you know your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping?

G.W. isn't the president anymore so she can now rest easy out of the limelight.

She can finally close her eyes to the world and all the troubles that her husband wrought; she no longer has to think about it or explain his idiocy.

If you want to fall asleep be very still and you close your eyes, and...

She can clear her conscious and make peace with the world if she keeps herself and G.W. "very still", he's advising her to not medddle in national affairs and keep him out of them too.

Go to sleep to the world and it'll be alright.

Try to stay positive, Laua Bush!

Self explainatory, you're alright, Laura Bush, not great or fantastic, but alright. Let's not think about your hubby right now, ok? Cause he clearly doesn't deserve an "alright". 

One final thought, please don't hate for my stupid spelling. I don't have spell check on my 3G IPad.
