Finale
Bela Drahos & Nicolaus Esterhazy Sinfonia And Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you,
That look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know its true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if i know you
I know what you'll do
Once upon a night,
I dreamed we'd be together
In love forever.
Once upon a night,
I was wishing for a never,
A never ending.
Once upon a night
Once upon a time
Once upon a wish
Once upon a dream.
These lyrics are from "Finale," a song by Bela Drahos and the Nicolaus Esterhazy Sinfonia and Chorus. The first verse talks about a feeling of familiarity between two people. The singer recognizes the person they are talking to, and the lyrics suggest that they have met before, with the line "I walked with you once upon a dream." The singer believes that they know the person they are talking to well and understands that things are not always what they seem. However, despite this ambiguity, the singer feels confident that the other person will love them, "like what you did once upon a dream." The second verse expands on this theme of longing for a love that lasts forever, wishing for a "never ending" relationship. The chorus repeats the phrase "once upon a" several times, emphasizing the enchanted, dream-like quality of the song.

I know you,
I am familiar with your presence.
I walked with you once upon a dream
I have experienced a dream in which we once walked together.
That look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
I recognize a familiar sparkle in your eyes.
And I know its true
I acknowledge that it is a fact.
That visions are seldom all they seem
Dreams can often be deceiving.
But if i know you
If my familiarity with you is correct,
I know what you'll do
I am aware of what your actions will be.
You'll love me at once,like what you did once upon a dream.
You will immediately fall in love with me, just like you did in my dream.
Once upon a night,
At one point in the night,
I dreamed we'd be together
I dreamt that we would be together.
In love forever.
We would be in love for eternity.
I was wishing for a never,
I desired for there to be no end to our love.
A never ending.
I wanted our love to last forevermore.
Once upon a time
At one point in time,
Once upon a wish
At one time, I made a wish,
Once upon a dream.
At one time, I dreamt of you.
