Chet Baker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mist on the meadow is drifting away
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now
And flowers break through their blanket of dew
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window a sky full of dreams
As the white clouds sail on through blue
In Chet Baker's song "Daybreak", he talks about the arrival of a new day. The mist on the meadow dissipates as the sun creeps in, and the flowers break through their blanket of dew. The song brings a sense of wonder and possibility as the day begins anew. The lyrics move on to speak of the beautiful sunrise seen from the window, with dreams soaring high with the white clouds, and the mention of daydreaming about someone special at daybreak.
In essence, the song speaks to the simple yet profound beauty of everyday life, and how each new day is an opportunity to be enjoyed and cherished. The use of imagery and metaphor is evocative, painting a vivid picture of the sights and sounds of daybreak.
Line by Line Meaning
Daybreak, another new day
The start of a new day, with the hope of new opportunities and experiences.
The mist on the meadow is drifting away
As the sun rises, the fog that covered the meadow is gradually dissipating
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now
The sun is shining in the sky, indicating the start of the day
And flowers break through their blanket of dew
The flowers are awakening and blooming, shaking off the morning dew that covered them.
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
The beauty of the sunrise is breathtaking and awe-inspiring
To see from my window a sky full of dreams
Looking out the window to see the sky is full of limitless possibilities
As the white clouds sail on through blue
The serene sight of white clouds floating on a blue sky
At daybreak, I daydream of you
The beauty of the daybreak reminds me of you and fills my mind with thoughts of you
