In my dream
Enrico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl of my dreams
Where do you go to
When I'm awake
What do you do

In your world of moonbeams
Sparkling with starlight
On lavender fields
Do you wait for me each night

Each night I hope to find you there
Where gentle music fills the air
Your silver eyes and golden hair
By the waterfront
I'll find you there

Girl of my dreams
Where do you go to
When I'm awake
What do you do

Girl of my dreams
When you are sleeping
What do you see
Oh do you dream of me

Girl of my dreams
Down by the shoreline
Oh I stood next to you
And felt your hand reach for mine
But it's not what it seems
We're out of time
I'm pulled away by the break of day
Let me stay

Girl of my dreams
Where do you go to




When I'm awake
Do you dream of me too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Enrico's song "In My Dream" convey a sense of longing and fascination towards a mysterious girl who appears only in the singer's dreams. The song explores the idea of two worlds colliding – the waking world and the dream world, where the girl of his dreams resides.


The opening lines, "Girl of my dreams, where do you go to when I'm awake, what do you do," suggests that the singer is constantly wondering about the existence and activities of the girl when he is not dreaming. He envisions her in a beautiful dream world adorned with moonbeams, starlight, and lavender fields, creating an ethereal and romantic atmosphere. The mention of "waiting for me each night" implies a desire for the possibility of being united with her.


The chorus reflects the singer's yearning to find the girl in his dreams, describing her enchanting features – "silver eyes and golden hair." The lines "By the waterfront, I'll find you there" convey a sense of determination and hope that someday the singer will be able to locate and meet her in his dreams.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's curiosity about the girl's dreams when she is sleeping. He wonders if she ever dreams of him, adding another layer of longing and a desire for reciprocated feelings. The mention of "down by the shoreline" creates imagery of a serene and romantic setting, where the singer and the girl briefly connect. However, the mention of being "pulled away by the break of day" reinforces the idea that their encounter is fleeting and temporary.


Ultimately, "In My Dream" captures the universal longing to connect with someone beyond the confines of reality, to find solace and companionship in the realm of dreams where imagination is boundless.


Line by Line Meaning

Girl of my dreams
An elusive figure that exists only in my imagination


Where do you go to
Where does this imaginary person reside when I am not thinking about them?


When I'm awake
When I am conscious and not lost in my thoughts


What do you do
How does this imagined individual spend their time in their own world?


In your world of moonbeams
Within the realm of fantastical dreams and ethereal imagery


Sparkling with starlight
Glimmering with the celestial glow of distant stars


On lavender fields
Amidst serene expanses of fragrant purple flowers


Do you wait for me each night
Do you anticipate my presence and long for me in this dream realm?


Each night I hope to find you there
Every evening, I yearn to encounter you in this imaginary domain


Where gentle music fills the air
In an atmosphere resonating with soft melodies and harmonious sounds


Your silver eyes and golden hair
Your eyes gleaming like precious metal and your hair radiating a lustrous, golden hue


By the waterfront
Close to the edge of a body of water


I'll find you there
I will discover your presence in that dream location


When you are sleeping
During the moments when your conscious mind is inactive


What do you see
What visions and experiences unfold within your dreamscape?


Oh do you dream of me
Do I hold a place in your subconscious fantasies?


Down by the shoreline
In the vicinity of the ocean's edge


Oh I stood next to you
I found myself in close proximity to your fictional presence


And felt your hand reach for mine
I experienced the sensation of your hand extending towards mine


But it's not what it seems
However, this encounter is merely illusory and deceptive


We're out of time
Our connection is fleeting and limited


I'm pulled away by the break of day
I am abruptly separated from this dream state as daylight emerges


Let me stay
Yearning for an extended period in which I can remain within this imagined reality


When I'm awake
During my conscious moments


Do you dream of me too
Do you also conjure thoughts and fantasies of me in your own reveries?

[Verse 1]
Last night, I was dreaming
Of you, love, was dreaming
I dreamed you did promise
We never should part

[Verse 2]
While your loved voice addressed me
And soft hands caressed me
I kissed you and pressed you
Once more to my heart
I kissed you and pressed you
Once more to my heart

[Verse 3]
I dreamed you were living
My darling, my darling
I dreamed that I held you
Once more to my breast

[Verse 4]
While your soft, perfumed tresses
And gentle caresses
Thrilled me and stilled me
And lulled me to rest
Thrilled me and stilled me
And lulled me to rest.

I absolutely adore this man. He fills my life with joy. He was special. The finest voice of all time. The tears run down my face. An irreplaceable man.

Je öfter man Caruso anhört und umso besser die Restaurationen werden, desto mehr wird einem sein Abstand zu den anderen guten Tenören bewusst!
Er sang ohne Mikrofon; das gab's damals noch nicht!

Vergleichen Sie bitte ab 1:45 mit/ohne Equalizer-Variation .....wie ein etwas verschwommenes Foto insgesamt schärfer wird; auch an der Begleitung oder Texten ('Surrogatparameter') ist der klare differenziertere Klang meist zu erkennen. Warum es sich so verhält, kann man am Graph der Funktion, die aus dieser genauen ! Regler-Einstellung ( kein preset ) resultiert und eine Crescendo-Verstärkung der hohen Frequenzen zeigt, verstehen: Er erscheint am Display.

Der Eintrag wird ergänzt, weil es sehr unterschiedliche EQ gibt. Er bezieht sich hier auf eine kostenlose 'Bass Booster App' 🎧 - ohne das Zuschalten des BASS BOOST. Die meisten gehen ja mit Bluetooth in ihrem Gerät/Handy richtig um: Audio-Output Stereo, 'Advanced settings' überprüfen, 'Compatibility Mode' der App und evtl 'Sound Field FLAT' Ihrer Anlage (den BBoost nicht - oder vorsichtig nutzen).
Auf Artikulation und Instrumente achten; dann wird der Effekt deutlich: reiner, differenzierter Klang - trotz nur Aufnahmehorn ohne Mikro!  'Ohr des Dionysios.'  Der "Samt" in Enricos Stimme ist nun hörbar und kommt der Wirklichkeit näher.

Modulation mit 'Bass Booster App':
Der Klangcharakter der Stimmen wird dadurch nicht geändert. Weil jedoch die mMn. kaum hörbaren Obertonanteile >> 2kHz crescendo-verstärkt werden, gewinnt die Wiedergabe stark an Brillanz (die Akustik wirkt realer) und Text ist besser verständlich.

Perhaps some of us can ignore the old scratchy sounding records and hear the mesmerizing voice of this great tenor.

@amantedellopera1681

The scratchy 78s cannot disguise the genius of his voice,infact i have a 1937 hmv gramaphone and the sound is amazingly good and authentic

@massimocassano2545

Voluttà eterna

@amantedellopera1681

He really had as near to perfect a voice as you could possibly have

@darklord220

This song always hurts . It hurts he never interviewed on video . So we could find a little bit of how he was able to transmute SO MUCH FEELING that people listening almost a century later could feel alongside with him. What a wonderful human being.
