And don't go to bed yet, love,
I think it's too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
And don't go to bed yet, love,
I think it's too early,
And we just need a little time to ourselves.
If my wall clock tells me that it's four
In the morning,
I'll give it hell.
'Cause I've been trying way too long,
To try and be the perfect song,
When our hearts are heavy burdens,
We shouldn't have to bear alone.
So goodnight moon,
And goodnight you,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feeling we sing about.
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
And sing for me softly, love,
Your song for tomorrow
And tell me my name's the one sitting in there somewhere
And dream for me anything, but dream
It in color about
We know the sun's still rising but we don't care
'Cause I've been trying way too long,
To try and be the perfect song,
When our hearts are heavy burdens,
We shouldn't have to bear alone.
So goodnight you,
And goodnight moon,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feelings we sing about.
Sit in our bedrooms and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
From goodnight moon
Then there you were,
And I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs.
It's hard to miss,
The way her eyes light up the room,
And steal the air.
Just feel her lips,
Lock on to every breath I take;
Can't breath it in.
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I feel us falling
So goodnight moon,
And goodnight you,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feeling we sing about.
Sit in our bedrooms and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
Oh, from goodnight moon
And there you were,
And I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs.
It's hard to miss,
The way her eyes light up the room,
And steal the air.
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Oh oh oh oh oh
I think it's too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
And don't go to bed yet, love,
I think it's too early,
And we just need a little time to ourselves.
If my wall clock tells me that it's four
In the morning,
I'll give it hell.
'Cause I've been trying way too long,
To try and be the perfect song,
When our hearts are heavy burdens,
We shouldn't have to bear alone.
So goodnight moon,
And goodnight you,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feeling we sing about.
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
And sing for me softly, love,
Your song for tomorrow
And tell me my name's the one sitting in there somewhere
And dream for me anything, but dream
It in color about
We know the sun's still rising but we don't care
'Cause I've been trying way too long,
To try and be the perfect song,
When our hearts are heavy burdens,
We shouldn't have to bear alone.
So goodnight you,
And goodnight moon,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feelings we sing about.
Sit in our bedrooms and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
From goodnight moon
Then there you were,
And I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs.
It's hard to miss,
The way her eyes light up the room,
And steal the air.
Just feel her lips,
Lock on to every breath I take;
Can't breath it in.
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I feel us falling
So goodnight moon,
And goodnight you,
When you're all that I think about.
All that I dream about.
How'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss
From goodnight you,
The kind of hope they all talk about.
The kind of feeling we sing about.
Sit in our bedrooms and read aloud,
Like a passage from goodnight moon
Oh, from goodnight moon
And there you were,
And I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs.
It's hard to miss,
The way her eyes light up the room,
And steal the air.
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Do you feel us falling?
'Cause I can feel us falling
Oh oh oh oh oh

Could be a coincidence! Thoughts?
Mr. Moon refers to Keith Moon, ex-drummer for the who and deceased. I believe that in singing with the king, he's refering to his father (deceased and a musician), as if he was jamming in heaven with Johnny Cash and Keith Moon :)
So goodnight moon, and goodnight you, when you're all that I think about,
All that I dream about, how'd I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from Goodnight You?
But even further than that, I love the Romeo and Juliet tie in. IN Romeo and Juliet Romeo constantly uses light and dark as a comparison for Juliet (she is the sun, a diamond in an Ethiop's ear, etc) and so does he:
And there you were, as I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs,
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air.
And then the fact that they know the Sun is rising but they don't care brings in the Romeo and Juliet because after romeo and Juliet get married Romeo spends the night yet he has to leave the next morning because he killed Tybalt and is now exiled, but Juliet pretends the sun isn't actually coming up.
And dream for me anything, but dream it in color about
We know the sun's still rising and we don't care.
Pretty much this is a great song and all of the allusions in it are amazing! I can't wait to see them on the 16th.
When he says:
"And there you were, and I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs,
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air."
it probably refers to the first time he saw her after a long time of not seeing her again.
This is an amazing song, Go Radio is fantastic.
(And don't go to bed yet, love, I think it's too early,
And we just need a little time to ourselves.
If my wall-clock tells me that it's four in the morning, I'll give it hell.)
He saying goodnight moon because the morning is coming asnd he knows that she has to leave soon.
'Cause I've been trying way too long to try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens we shouldn't have to bear alone.
he doesnt want to be alone. and wen he speaks about not caring the sun is rising hes saying he wants her to stay amd not to do watever it is she has to leave for. he also alludes to the book Goodnight Moon saying "Sitting in our bedrooms and read aloud like a passage from Goodnight Moon." saying goodnight to eachother.
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air." and i thought that was his daughter but then it talks about her lips locking and taking his breath, and i realized he said "my juliet" which normally means your girl or lover or what-not, and it's really confusing cuz some parts seem like he could be talkin bout his daughter then randomly he'll talk about his lover... overall i think the song is him wanting more time with his daughter, reading passages from stories (except when it talks about 4am bein to early for bed, it doesnt make sense to be his daughter for that one) and then his wife comes down, and i guess he just experienced happiness and love.
And ABuri, u have a REALLY good point and idea, but how would it work that hes with a girl, spending time and wanting more when it says "And there you were, as I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs,
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air.
Just feel her lips lock on to every breath I take and breathe it in.
Do you feel us falling? 'Cause I feel us falling." cause that would mean talking about another girl... im still confused...
and btw, i think when he says "Do you feel us falling? 'Cause I can feel us falling." hes either talking about falling in love, or falling asleep, or could just be falling away to a better place or something...
