Dreaming with Tears in My Eyes
Bono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cared for you more then you knew
Though you have broken each promise
Yesterday's dreams are untrue
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
As a dream of the love you once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes
Why did you promise me sweetheart
Never to leave me alone
Yesterday's sunshine is faded
You're love wasn't true like my own
Alone, I'll be yearning tomorrow
When sunshine brings memories of you
My sunshine will turn into sorrow
As a dream of the love we once knew
Why should I always be lonesome
When sunny and blue are the skies
While shadows and loneliness linger
I'm dreaming with tears in my eyes

it is a great thing when a voice like this hits a great song...perfect match. I wish he would do more like it.
@mjcurrington2079
WOW!!!! That song brought tears to my eyes. It is so beautiful, you can hear the hurt in his voice. Bono has always had the most expressive and emotional sound in his songs. I will listen to this forever!! Good luck Bono. I wish you all the happiness, love, peace and everything in life you want. God bless you. I love you, Bono!
@twinsoultarot473
There is more pain, loneliness and heartache in Bono's voice and U2's sound than any other band. There is also more uplift and rejoicing. Probably why I keep coming back for more.
@stipevedder
Very well said
@feel4films889
got your point Lauren you're right. so many colours, shades, lights and darkness in their music! from "Love is blindness" or "Acrobat" to "City of blinding lights" or "I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight" they have it all. they're the last giants of rock and roll
@marjetex8579

@bonsummers2657
