Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each and every day
Had I been thinking about you all night long
I even wrote a song
Just to try to tell you how I really feel
To make you understand my love is real
That you're on my mind all the time
I remember talking to you
I remember walking with you
I remember laughing all the time
And you were mine
Now the days seem so long
I can't face a night alone
I beg you please won't you please come home
I remember talking to you
I remember walking with you
I remember laughing all the time
I remember singing to you
I remember dreaming with you
I remember loving you alone
And now the days seem so long
I can't face a night all alone
I beg you please won't you please come home
"Daydream" is a poignant love song by John Denver that speaks of an overwhelming feeling of longing and nostalgia for a past love.

Even though he's been separated from this individual, they remain a persistent presence in his life, reflected in his dreams and thoughts. The singer confesses that he has been thinking about this person all night long, and that he even wrote a song to express his emotions.
The chorus speaks of how the singer wishes for the person to come back to him, as he fondly reminisces the times they spent together. He remembers talking and laughing with them, and how they were once inseparable. However, the days seem so long without the person that he longs for them to return. The last lines of the song reflect the singer's plea for his love to come back to him; he cannot face another night being alone.
