Am I Dreaming
Atlantic Starr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things are kind of hazy
And my head's all cloudy inside
And I've heard talk of angels
I never thought I'd have one to call mine

See you are
Just too good to be true
And I hope
This is not some kind of mirage with you

Am I dreaming (well, well, well, well)
Am I just imagining you're here win my life
Am I dreaming (oh, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Pinch me to see if it's real 'cause my mind can't decide

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Will this last for one night
Or do I have you for a lifetime
Please say that it's forever
And that it's not an illusion to my eyes

And I hope
That you don't run out and disappear
My love, I pray
That it's not a hoax and it's for real

Am I dreaming (am I dreaming) (baby, baby)
Am I just imagining you're here in my life (you're here and you're mine)
Am I dreaming (is this a dream, baby, baby, oh)
Pinch me to see (whoa, whoa) if it's real
'Cause my mind can't decide (can't decide)

Sometimes, sometimes (sometimes, baby)
I need you to show me, show me that it's not a mirage (no, baby)
I need you I need you
I need you to pinch me to see if it's real 'cause my mind can't decide
(Tell me)

Am I dreaming (am I dreaming, oh, yeah)
Am I just imagining you're here in my life (you're here in my life)
Am I dreaming (oh, no, oh, no, baby)
Pinch me to see if it's real 'cause my mind can't decide

Am I dreaming (dream)




Am I just imagining you're here in my life
Am I dreaming

Line by Line Meaning

Things are kind of hazy
My thoughts and feelings are unclear and confused


And my head's all cloudy inside
My mind is also confused and unclear


And I've heard talk of angels
I have heard that there are celestial beings that watch over us


I never thought I'd have one to call mine
I never expected that I would have a personal angel


See you are
You are


Just too good to be true
You are so perfect that I question if you are real


And I hope
I wish


This is not some kind of mirage with you
I am afraid that being with you is just an illusion or fantasy


Am I dreaming (well, well, well, well)
I wonder if I am in a dream


Am I just imagining you're here win my life
Maybe I am just having an imagination that you are with me


Pinch me to see if it's real 'cause my mind can't decide
I am so uncertain that I need physical proof to believe this is real


Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (whoa)
Exclamation of intensity


Will this last for one night
I wonder if this relationship will end soon


Or do I have you for a lifetime
I hope that our relationship will last forever


Please say that it's forever
Please promise me that our relationship will last for eternity

Please confirm that this is not just a vision I am experiencing


That you don't run out and disappear
Please do not leave me suddenly and vanish

I really need you


Tell me
Please inform me


Am I dreaming (am I dreaming, oh, yeah)
I keep wondering if this is all a dream


Am I just imagining you're here in my life (you're here in my life)
I cannot believe that you are actually here with me


Am I dreaming (oh, no, oh, no, baby)
I am afraid that this might be a dream


Pinch me to see if it's real 'cause my mind can't decide
I need some physical proof to make me believe that this is not just an imagination


Am I dreaming (dream)
I keep questioning if I'm just having a dream


Am I just imagining you're here in my life
I am having a hard time believing that you are actually with me


Am I dreaming
I still wonder if this is all just a dream

I love Atlantic Starr and the 80s. One thing I like about the 90s is how that music era was inspired by the 80s and older. XScape and Old Skool is what introduced me to this song. They did a remake in 1998. Keith Sweat made an appearance on that version.
