Daydream
Art Garfunkel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a
Walk outside
In the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's
New mowed lawn
I've been havin' a sweet dream
I've been dreamin' since I woke up
Today
It's starred me and my sweet dream
Cause she's the one makes me feel
This way
And even if time is passin' me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you
Say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin'
My load
A pie in the face for bein' a sleepy
Bull toad
And you can be sure that if you're
Feelin' right
A daydream will last a long into
The night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick
Up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a
Thousand years
What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy
In "Daydream," Art Garfunkel sings about a perfect day for daydreaming. He feels lost in his daydreams about someone who makes him happy, his "bundle of joy." Despite time passing by quickly, he doesn't seem to care much and enjoys taking walks in the sun. Garfunkel is so consumed by his sweet dream that even the chores he has to do are no bother to him.
The lyrics are a tribute to escapism and the power of the imagination. Garfunkel encourages listeners to embrace the moment and indulge in their fantasies. He's so caught up in his reverie that he imagines he could be dreaming for a thousand years, and it wouldn't matter. The gentle melody of the song accentuates its wistful tone and gives it a dreamy feel. In conclusion, Art Garfunkel's "Daydream" reminds us of the beauty of daydreams as a means of escaping reality and conjuring happiness.
