Dreamin'
Cliff Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The song "Dreamin'" by Cliff Richard is a powerful ballad about unrequited love and the power of dreams. The lyrics speak of a man who is walking around in the middle of the night, thinking about a woman who he is hopelessly in love with. He dreams of a life with her, of being able to make her his own, but is plagued by feelings of sadness and loneliness because he knows that those dreams may never come true.
The opening lines "Four o'clock, I've been walkin' all night. It's the time I always think of you" set the tone for the rest of the song. The man is consumed with thoughts of the woman he loves, and he can't get her out of his head. He knows that if she could see things through his eyes, she would understand just how deeply he feels for her.
The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you. Oh, I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through." This reflects the theme of the song, which is that dreams can be a powerful force in our lives. The man is holding onto the hope that his dreams of being with the woman he loves will one day come true. He believes that if he keeps dreaming and never gives up, he will eventually find a way to make his dreams a reality.
Overall, "Dreamin'" is a poignant and emotional song that captures the pain and beauty of unrequited love. It is a testament to the power of dreams and the importance of never giving up on what we truly want in life.
