Dreamer
Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stand in the middle of an open crowd
Then everybody would see me
But I was just a little project child
And I was just a dreamer
And as I proceed to reach my teens
Responsibility was far it seemed
And in my heart I really wanted to sing
[Chorus: x2]
And I gave my heart to dream
When I see you
I want to thank you
Just let me shake your hand
And tell you I appreciate you
Just for this chance
Now everybody knows my name
My nights are famous
But my days the same
You make me know this love is real
Cause that's exactly how you make me feel
Everyday I'm dreaming
Oh she can tell me what I can do
Cause I can always find a way to prove
That you can always count on me
Even though I lie awake and dream
[Chorus x4]
I want to thank you
For this chance you've given me
For helping me love somebody, you
Just for this chance, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Just for this chance with you
I want to thank you for the little things
For the little things yeah, yeah
I'm here because you've got me through
Made understand those things that I couldn't do
And ill show my love to make you see
That everything I have without you it will never be
[Chorus x3]
I want to thank you
Gave me the chance to touch your hand
Oh, oh
And we can just hang around, yeah
So when I see you I want to tell you
Oh, oh when you call me, I'm gonna listen
Because I want to be right there for you,
Oh girl?¦
Oh girl oh oh oh oh oh
Oh girl oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhh
When I see
Oh when I see you
When I see you
I want to thank you
Ohhh
Oohhh (till fade)

I used to love to dream out loud
I used to express my dreams to everyone around me
Stand in the middle of an open crowd
I used to be proud and open about who I am
Then everybody would see me
I wanted everyone to recognize my worth
But I was just a little project child
Despite my dreams, I was limited in my resources and opportunities
And I was just a dreamer
My dreams were all I had
And as I proceed to reach my teens
As I got older
Responsibility was far it seemed
I didn't have many obligations, but things were not easy
And in my heart I really wanted to sing
My true passion was to sing and make music
And I gave my heart to dream
I fully dedicated myself to pursuing my dreams
When I see you
When I have the chance to meet you
I want to thank you
I want to express my gratitude
Just let me shake your hand
I want to meet you face-to-face
And tell you I appreciate you
I want to show you how much I value you
Now everybody knows my name
I've become successful and well-known
My nights are famous
I'm recognized and appreciated for my music
But my days the same
Nevertheless, my life hasn't changed much
You make me know this love is real
You make me feel valued and appreciated
Cause that's exactly how you make me feel
That's the power of your support and encouragement
Everyday I'm dreaming
My dreams are still alive and well
Oh she can tell me what I can do
No one can stop me from pursuing my dreams
Cause I can always find a way to prove
I'm determined enough to overcome all obstacles
That you can always count on me
You can rely on me to achieve my goals

Even when I'm not actively pursuing my dreams
I want to thank you
I want to express my gratitude

For the opportunities you've provided me
For helping me love somebody, you
For allowing me to pursue my passion and achieve my dreams

Just for this chance with you

Made understand those things that I couldn't do
You've helped me overcome my limitations
