Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
If I'm dreaming
Then just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
Just leave me on my own
Turn off the lights
And unplug the phone
I can't get over
The fact that I'm with you
Now that I have you
I don't know what to do
Girl, if I'm dreaming
I'm dreaming 'bout you
About the things
That I like to do
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, don't wake me
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you
If I'm dreaming
Just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming
Just leave me alone
Turn off the lights
And unplug the phone
I've been waiting
For such a long time
For you to say
That you would be mine
Now that you're here
Here by my side
I can't control the way
That I feel inside
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, don't wake me
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you
If I'm dreaming
Just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming
Just leave me alone
Turn off the lights
And unplug the phone
If I'm dreaming about you
Let's make this dream true
If I'm dreaming about you
Let's make this dream of love come true
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, don't wake me
Don't wake me, I'm dreaming
Girl, I'm dreaming 'bout you
If I'm dreaming
Just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming
Then leave me alone
Turn off the lights
And unplug the phone
If I'm dreaming
Then just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
This dream is just
Just you and me
If I'm dreaming, ooh hoo
I can't sleep dreaming about you
(Dreaming, dreaming)
If I'm dreaming
Then just let me sleep
Don't wake me up
Till my dream is complete
If I'm dreaming
Then leave me alone
Turn off the lights
And unplug the phone
If I'm dreaming
If I'm dreaming
If I'm dreaming
The song "I'm Dreamin" by Christopher Williams is a love ballad that depicts the depth of the singer's feelings for the woman he is dreaming about. The lyrics reveal the singer's reluctance to wake up from the dream as he wants to make sure that his dream is completed. He implores the woman not to wake him up until his dream is over, and he is able to live out his fantasies with her. As he dreams about the woman, he cannot get over the fact that he is with her, and he is unsure of what to do now that he has her. The singer is in a state of bliss and wants the dream to continue as he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
The lyrics of the song convey a strong message about the power of love and how it can consume and overwhelm a person's emotions. The singer's longing to stay in the dream world indicates his desire to hold on to this feeling forever. The song uses repetition to emphasize the message of the song as the refrain "Don't wake me, I'm dreaming" repeats throughout the song.
