Somewhere in a Dream
David Hasselhoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Movin' through the crowd so gracefully
Moonlight falls like diamonds on your golden hair
As time stands still
I've been the fool it's gone unnoticed
Waiting on your love so faithfully
Just as I get close enough the words just disappear
And you turn away
Listen for my heart beat in the thunder
Beating like a drummer out of time
Drifting like a teardrop in the ocean waves
Somewhere in a dream, I think I loved you
Girl just let me dream my life away
Somewhere in my darkness, babe, your light keeps shinin'
I'm searchin' like a ship that's lost at sea
You may never know just what your life has meant to me
Someday I'll find you girl
If only in my dreams, oh baby
Listen for my heart beat in the thunder
It's beating like a drummer out of time
Drifting like a teardrop in the ocean waves
Somewhere in a dream, I think I loved you
Girl just let me dream my life away
Why can't I tell you what I feel for you
What should I feel if I can't touch you
Somehow, somewhere, someday I'll find a way
I'll find the way to make this dream come true
Oh, listen for my heart beat in the thunder
Beating like a drummer out of time
Drifting like a teardrop in the ocean waves
Somewhere in a dream, I think I loved you
Girl just let me dream my life away
Listen for my heart beat in the thunder
Beating like a drummer out of time
Drifting like a teardrop in the ocean waves
Somewhere in a dream, I think I loved you
Girl just let me dream my life away
Girl just let me dream my life away
The lyrics to David Hasselhoff's song "Somewhere in a Dream" describe a man who is standing in the shadows watching a girl who moves gracefully through a crowd. He has been waiting faithfully for her love, but every time he gets close enough, the words disappear and she turns away. As the rain begins to fall, he asks her to listen for his heartbeat in the thunder, which is beating out of time like a drummer. He compares himself to a teardrop drifting in the ocean waves, and admits that he thinks he loved her somewhere in a dream. He begs her to let him dream his life away.
The lyrics reflect a sense of longing and unrequited love, as the man watches the girl from afar and is unable to express his feelings. He compares himself to a lost ship searching for her light in the darkness, and admits that he may never find her in reality, but will always search for her in his dreams.
Overall, the song is a romantic ballad that captures the feeling of yearning and desire for someone who may be out of reach. The thunder and ocean waves are used as metaphors for the man's beating heart and drifting emotions, highlighting the intensity of his love and the impossibility of fulfilling it.
