Don't you know your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop for now
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 your worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright
You can fall asleep by being very still
And let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don't you know, love, you're alright
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop for now
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 your worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright
You can fall asleep by being very still
And let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don't you know, love, you're alright

But yeah I can't think of a clearer example of a lullaby then this.
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.
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.
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
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.
Alright
Alright
Go to sleep to the world and it'll be 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
Try to stay positive, Laua Bush!
Don't you know, Laura, you're alright?
You're alright
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".Â
Whoa, stop the presses everyone.
