Kelly was known for his energetic and athletic dancing style, his good looks and the likeable characters that he played on screen.
Although he is known today for his performances in An American in Paris (1951) and Singin' in the Rain (1952), he was a dominant force in Hollywood musical films from the mid-1940s until this art form fell out of fashion in the late 1950s. His many innovations transformed the Hollywood musical film, and he is credited with almost single-handedly making the ballet form commercially acceptable to film audiences.
Kelly was the recipient of an Academy Honorary Award in 1952 for his career achievements. He later received lifetime achievement awards in the Kennedy Center Honors (1982), and from the Screen Actors Guild and American Film Institute; in 1999, the American Film Institute also numbered him 15th in their Greatest Male Stars of All Time list.
Better known as a dancer and movie star than a singer, Gene Kelly nevertheless turned in memorable vocal performances in the context of his movies, the MGM musicals of the 1940s and 1950s.
Kelly rose to fame on Broadway before making his Hollywood debut with "For Me and My Gal" in 1942. Kelly's light, high vocals are distinctive, and he acted even as he sang, sometimes letting his voice crack at a pivotal moment (as in his vocal for the title number in "Singin' in the Rain"). In addition to reinterpreting classics by the likes of George Gershwin, Kelly introduced a few standards, including "Be a Clown" from the film "The Pirate" and "Long Ago and Far Away" from "Cover Girl." He also performed duets with such luminaries as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.
All I Do Is Dream of You
Gene Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
With the dawn, I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing,
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are grey, when skies are blue
All I do the whole day thru, is dream of you
All I do is dream of you the whole night thru
With the dawn, I still go on and dream of you
You're every thought, you're every thing,
You're every song I ever sing
Summer, Winter, Autumn and Spring
And were there more than twenty four hours a day
They'd be spent in sweet content dreaming away
When skies are grey, when skies are blue
Morning, noon and night time to
"All I Do Is Dream of You" is a classic love song that expresses an intense longing for someone who is always on the mind, even when asleep. It is said that Gene Kelly wrote the lyrics himself to this song that he performed in the musical "Sadie McKee" in 1934. He first croons about how he dreams of her constantly "the whole night thru" and continues to do so even after the dawn. The lyrics express how the subject of his affection is every thought, everything in his life, and every song he sings. The song then mentions how there are never enough hours in a day to spend dreaming about this person, and even when times are tough, he continues to dream about her.
The use of the word "dream" throughout the song reinforces the idea that this person is always on his mind, even when he is not actively thinking about her. The lyrics lay out a feeling of pure bliss and contentment and the chorus says, "All I do the whole day thru, is dream of you." This phrase conveys that the idea of this person is so prevalent in his mind that he finds himself lost in thoughts of them at all times.
Overall, "All I Do Is Dream of You" is a beautifully written love song, expressing a deep longing and love for someone who fills every corner of one's mind.

Lyrics:
All I do, is dream of you
The whole through
An’ with the dawn, I still go on
Dreamin’ of you!
Your every thought, your every think
You’re every song I ever sing
Summer, winter, autumn and spring
And we’re there more,
Than twenty-four hours a day
They’d be spent
In sweet content, dreamin’ away
When sky’s are gray,
When sky’s are blue,
Mornin’ , noon, and nighttime too
All I do, the whole night through
Is dream of you (oohooh!)
🎶 (dance solo)
Cat me-ow!
🎶
All I do,
The whole night through,
Is dream of youu!~
Me
All I do is dream of you
The whole night through
With the dawn I still go on
Dreamin' of you
You're every thought, you're everything
You're every song I ever sing
Summer or winter, (?) and spring
And were there more than twenty-four hours in a day
They'd be spent in sweet content just dreamin' away
When skies are grey, when skies are blue
Morning, noon and night-time, too
All I do the whole day through is dream of you, oh (?)
When skies are grey, even when they're blue
And were there more than twenty-four hours in a day
Oh that'd be spent in sweet content, dreaming away
Oh, when skies are grey, when skies are blue
In the morning (night-time too)
All I do the whole day through is dream (I'm dreaming, dreaming a dream)
Of (just dreaming I dream a little dream) you, yu-yu-yu, yu-yu-yu, yu-yu-yu

ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU
[ヴァース]
全くの晴天の霹靂というか
突然にあなたが私のところに現れ、
一日だけでなく
ここに泊まっている。
私はいつまでも同じ思いをするでしょう。
[リフレイン]
私がすることといえば一晩中あなたの夢をみていることだけ。
夜明けとともに、私はあいも変わらずあなたの夢を見ているの。
あなたは全ての思い、あなたは全て、
あなたは私が歌う歌全て。
夏も、冬も、秋もそして春も、
それにもっともっと
一日の二十四時間よりもっと時間があれば、
甘い喜びに満ちた
夢を見続けるでしょう。
曇って灰色の空のときも、
青い空のときだって
朝も昼も夜だって同じよ
私がすることといえば一晩中あなたの夢をみていることだけ。
[ヴァース２]
いつも一日が始まるとき、
いつも一日が終わるとき
この私の心から、
離れることはないの、
あなたはいつだって私の中に。

Later this scene is hilariously referenced by Cosmo when he and Don finally find Kathy again at the studio. He tells Kathy, “I’m sure glad you showed up. We’ve been looking inside every cake in town!”
