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.

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

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

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.

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".ร‚ย 

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