Dreaming of You
Diana Ross & Lionel Richie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Touch me!

When I look in your eyes
It`s like a sunny day, baby
I feel that everything good
Is coming my way
I can tell by your smile
That honey, you`re the one
It`s you and me together from now on

Oh, love is so beautiful
When I`m in your arms
Life is wonderful
We`ve got so much love to share
And I`m not going anywhere
I`m feeling like I do

Cause I`m dreaming of you
I`m dreamin`, dreamin`
Dreaming of your baby
You`re dreaming of me..? No!

Oh, everyday of my life
I wanna spend it with you
With who...? You...!
It doesn`t matter where we are
Or what we do

Ooh, soft gentle whispers of love
Are floating out in the air, baby
They say how much I love you
And how much I care

Oh, love is so beautiful
When I`m in your arms
Life is wonderful
We`ve got so much love to share
And I`m not going anywhere

I`m feeling like I do
Cause I`m dreaming of you
You`re not dreaming of me? Yes I am!
Dreaming of your baby
I`m dreaming, dreaming of you baby

Oh, love is so beautiful
When I`m in your arms
Life is wonderful
We`ve got so much love to share
And I`m not going anywhere

I`m feeling like I do
Cause I`m dreaming of you
I`m dreamin`, dreamin`
Dreaming of your baby
I`m dreaming, dreaming of you baby

And I`m dreamin`
Dreaming of your baby
Yeah, I`m dreamin`
Dreaming of your baby




Dreamin`
Dreaming of your baby

I love Diana Ross's sound.... Just in love with her

It's interesting to see how much have changed in the music industry.. After the success of Endless love it's hard to believe that this was not released as a single.. Today there is no doubt that it would be...

Роналд Найденов

This is a sentimental and penetrating song! Real soul! Love it!

WHAT UP?

Good memories ,the early 80s , like a breath of fresh air, miss those times.

THIS SONG CAME OUT WHEN I WAS AROUND 12, I'M 47 TODAY DEC, 2015...I LOVE DIANA ROSS AND THIS SONG BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF MY TENDER YEARS WHEN MY OTHER SIBLINS WHERE JUST KIDS AND THINGS WERE DIFFERENT THEN OF THE TIMES...IT'S WAS MUCH NICER IN TERMS OF THE "AIR" PEOPLE THROW TODAY AND THE HOSTILITY YOU CAN CUT WITH A KNIFE. PRETTY SONG!!!FOREVER...DIANA ROSS WAS AT THE TOP OF HER GAME THEN...AND STILL IS

I remember hearing this in the background when the characters were talking in one scene of the movie..and wishing that it was out as a single at that time!

THE TRUTH HURTS

Such a great song and to me it has the feel of something that could have not only been a hit for these 2 but in another time...Marvin and Tammi could have done this or Peaches and Herb and it would have worked. But don't get me wrong it works for these two as well

RJ Builders & Supply

one of the best love songs of the 80's in the movie endless love..

Mr Maxxx

This cut never got its due,lionel Richie and Diana Ross had strong musical chemistry,and they compliment one another nicely
