I Can Dream About You
Dan Hartman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more timing
Each tear that falls from my eyes
I'm not hiding
The remedy to cure this old heart of mine

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you

You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

Moving sidewalks
I don't see under my feet
Climbing up from
Down here below where the streets sees me lonely for you

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
I'm gonna press my lips against you and hold you to me
I can dream about you
You know you got me spellbound what else can it be

Moving sidewalks
I don't see under my feet
Climbing up from
The pain in my heart 'cause it's you that I need

I can dream!
I can dream!
Yes, I can dream!

I don't understand it
I can't keep my mind off loving you (not even for a minute)
Ooh, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you
There's one thing to do

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right

I can dream about you
If I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
I can dream
I can dream
I can dream about you

I can dream about you
I can dream about you

Overall Meaning

Dan Hartman's song "I Can Dream About You" is about a man who is pained by his separation from his lover. He mentions that there is no more timing for him and each tear that falls from his eyes is a reminder of how he misses his lover. The man is no longer hiding from the pain he feels and he wants to cure his heart using the remedy of dreaming about his beloved. The song talks about the power of dreams and how, through them, we can escape from our misery. Dan Hartman also mentions that his lover knows how to hold him just right and that he can dream about her if he can't hold her tonight.

The moving sidewalks in the lyrics are a metaphor for the man's journey towards his beloved. He is climbing up from the pain in his heart and from the lonely place that he is in. He dreams about his lover as he walks on the moving sidewalks, which he cannot see under his feet. Dan Hartman also mentions that he will press his lips against his lover and hold her to him. He is spellbound by his lover and cannot keep his mind off loving her.

The song talks about the magic that the man sees in his lover and how he is caught up in it. He knows that the one thing to do is to dream about her if he can't hold her tonight. The song ends with Dan Hartman saying that he can dream about her multiple times, emphasizing the power of dreams to make us travel to faraway places and bring us moments of joy.

Line by Line Meaning

No more timing
I don't need to wait for the right time anymore

Each tear that falls from my eyes
Every tear that I cry

I'm not hiding
I'm not concealing my feelings anymore

The remedy to cure this old heart of mine
I need something to heal my broken heart

I can dream about you
Even if I can't be with you, I can still imagine being with you

If I can't hold you tonight
If I can't physically be with you

You know how to hold me just right
You know how to make me feel loved and cared for

Moving sidewalks
The world is constantly moving around me

I don't see under my feet
I don't always know where I'm going

Climbing up from
Trying to rise above

Down here below where the streets sees me lonely for you
Feeling lonely for you while I'm down here on the streets

I'm gonna press my lips against you and hold you to me
I want to kiss you and hold you close to me

You know you got me spellbound what else can it be
You have me under your spell, I can't resist you

The pain in my heart 'cause it's you that I need
My heart hurts because I need you so much

Yes, I can dream!
I can dream of being with you

I don't understand it
I can't explain my feelings

I can't keep my mind off loving you (not even for a minute)
I think about loving you all the time

Ooh, now baby, I'm caught up in the magic I see in you
I'm enchanted by the magic I see in you

There's one thing to do
There's only one thing I can do

I would have agreed with you in the 90's and early 2000's. I liked this music when it came out, but hated it after the 90's got started. A long with hairband rock. But, after enough time passed, the good music from this era is resurfacing, given new life by us as adults and a younger generation who doesn't have a sound of their own.

This is why shows like radwood are celebrated across the country with 80s to 90's cars because they where the best ones. That's why us enthusiast will buy them. Looking at the car market now it's stupid suvs and crossover. We are getting less fun cars. Ferrari making a suv was stupid. They should have done a modern version of what the f40 was with a gated manual transmission.

Dan Hartman's appearance on "Soul Train" singing this song rocked the house that episode. Check it out on YouTube. Most of the Black kids hearing his voice on the radio thought his sound was coming from a brother. They were not mistaken. He just happened to be a white brother. RIP My Brother.

The love of good music should bring all of us together, listening with our heart and soul and instead of using our eyes, often times vision is superficial and biased,...that’s my Hispanic/Navajo opinion.

Even though I wasn't born in the 80s (I'm a 90s chick), I've been listening to this song on repeat because it reminds me of this boy I really like ❤️ he's making me feel so much joy recently 🌞

One of these song that I hear out of the blue and suddenly I feel like a child again.
It’s 1984 and I’m back from school
Daddy is still alive and mom is waiting with dinner
Brings tears to my eyes
