Golden Slumbers
Restful nighttime repose
Golden Slumbers is a traditional lullaby, best known from the Beatles' 1969 recording on *Abbey Road*.
The phrase evokes peaceful, precious sleep—golden suggesting something treasured or ideal.
Paul McCartney adapted the lyrics from a 17th-century poem by Thomas Dekker.
The song is often used at funerals and in films to evoke tender nostalgia: She sang "Golden Slumbers" to the baby.
