Dream
Ferguson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time in my life
When I opened my eyes
And there you were
You were more than a dream

I could reach out and touch you girl
That was long ago
There are some things
That I guess I'll never know

When you love someone
You gotta learn to let them go

When I dream about you
That's when everything's alright
You're in my arms, here next to me, forever
When I dream about you, girl you never go away
Just close my eyes, wait for my dreams
'Cause I still love loving you.

How can I get you to see
That I'm falling apart
Since you've been gone
I can never be sure
I could ever let go

Your love is much too strong
There are some things
That I guess I'll never know
When you love someone
You gotta learn to let them go

When I dream about you
That's when everything's alright
You're in my arms, here next to me, forever
When I dream about you, girl you never go away
Just close my eyes, wait for my dreams
'Cause I still love loving you.

There are some things
That I guess I'll never know
When you love someone
You gotta learn to let them go

When I dream about you
That's when everything's alright
You're in my arms, here next to me, forever
When I dream about you, girl you never go away




Just close my eyes, wait for my dreams
'Cause I still love loving you.

Relentless Football

This made me cry. I love it. United runs in my veins.

Huw Davies-Tallon

@Morten Storvik missed out Fergie is by far the greatest manager of all time so dominate for so long.

Morten Storvik

Same, shame I wasn’t born in the Ferguson era

Brian O'Reilly

I can clearly recall the day Fergie became United manager in Nov '86. I was as usual cautious and indifferent because Liverpool reigned supreme and many United managers before him had failed to get United back to the top since Matt Busby retired in '69. I really didn't know what to expect of him ,managing and being successful in Scotland is one thing ,but English football is a step up. After the initial few years of getting the club into the shape he desired and with the first FA Cup victory in '90, it was a roller coaster of fantastic football and success from then on. NOBODY will ever repeat his unbelievable record , from ALL UNITED supporters to Sir Alex - a massive thank you!!

Brian O'Reilly

@el dub He won The European Cup Winners Cup in 1983 beating Real Madrid 2-1 in Gotthenburg. FYI, The Champions League didn't exist then, it was call The European Cup.

el dub

he won the champions league with Aberdeen……

Huw Davies-Tallon

@HT first match in 1995 saw most of the golden years Ferguson was so good made us expect success not so good now but United till I die.

HT

Brian O'Reilly some of the greatest to grace the football pitch on and OFF the pitch are Scottish... just do your homework. We may be a small nation of 5 million only but don’t underestimate Scotland

Keegan Palcich

So jealous of you man, got to watch my first match with him in 2005, what an amazing 9 years followed. Wish I could have been born a little earlier. Now its a little darker, but still forever United.

Kevin07

For 5 years we have played without him. And not once did we win a Premier League. I think we all know what's missing. Thank you for all your work, Sir Alex. You will always be The Boss.
