In My Dreams
Bill & Ron Moore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, I'm sending a prayer up to Heaven
On a beautiful cloud you see
So you will know that I want you
In my beautiful memories and dreams

Come back to me in my dreams love
Come back to me in sweet dreams
I'm heartbroke I'm sad and I'm weary
Come back to me in my dreams

When the bright moon shines up in Heaven
And the beautiful stars are a'gleam
It seems that you are so near me
But yet it is only a dream

It seems I'll never more see you
Till we meet in Heaven it seems




But I hold you close to my heart love
In my beautiful memories and dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bill & Ron Moore's song "In My Dreams" conveys the idea of a love that continues to live on even after death. The first two lines of the song express the singer's desire to communicate with their loved one who has passed away by sending up a prayer to heaven. The singer hopes that their loved one can see the prayer on a "beautiful cloud" and understand that they are still cherished and missed. The next lines of the song reveal how the singer is dealing with their loss. They long for their loved one to come back to them in their dreams, as they are "heartbroke," "sad," and "weary."


The next stanza of the song uses the imagery of the moon and stars to illustrate the idea that the singer's loved one is always close, even in death. When the celestial bodies are shining brightly, the singer feels their loved one's presence, although it is only a dream. The final stanza of the song touches on the idea that the singer may never see their loved one again until they meet in heaven. However, they hold on to the memories of their love in their "beautiful memories and dreams."


Overall, "In My Dreams" is a poignant expression of grief and devotion. It highlights the power of memories and dreams to keep love alive, even after the physical presence of a loved one is gone.
