I Had The Craziest Dream
Harry James Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what insane and silly things we do.
Here is what I see before me, vividly and clear,
As I recall it, you were in it, too.
I had the craziest dream last night, yes I did.
I never dreamt it could be
Yet there you were, in love with me.
And you didn't mind it at all.
When I'm awake such a break never happens.
How long can a gal go on dreaming?
If there's a chance that you care
Then, please, say you do, Baby.
Say it and make my craziest dream come true.
The lyrics of Harry James's "I Had The Craziest Dream" speak of a surreal dream in which the singer finds himself in a strange and fantastical world filled with crazy and odd things. In his dream, he finds himself in the company of the person he loves, and they share an intimate moment together. However, the singer realizes that this is nothing more than a dream, and when he wakes up, he is left longing for that connection with the person he loves.
The song speaks to the power of our dreams and how they can influence the way we feel, even after we wake up. The dream represents an escape from reality, where the singer can be with the person he loves without any of the constraints of the real world. The lyrics also speak to the idea that dreams can be a source of hope and inspiration, as the singer asks the person he loves to make his wildest dreams come true by admitting that she cares for him.
Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the power of dreams and how they can influence our lives in unexpected ways.

I had that "crazy" dream 57 years ago and it's been a dream come true ever since. Carol and I have been "one" since 1965 and Like the song "wishes are dreams that come true".

Helen Forrest had a beautiful voice and Harry James could really blow that trumpet! There are no songs like this today.

Harry James blew his trumpet to sound like a saxophone, and Helen Forest sang such rich tones with depth, making this a beautiful song to pass with flying colors the test of time

Harry was Simply the Best... (I have many of his CD's)

Harry James has imitators to this day, but they don't hold a candle to his talent

How I wish that I was born in this beautifully nostalgic era of big bands, moonlight gardens like in this video….gliding across the dance floor with Mary Nash in my arms….

This was my dad's favorite song by his favorite singer. He just passed away and it will be played at his funeral. He was 96. RIP Dad.

Even as a child I was interested in music decades before I was born. I still love the music from 20s, 30s, 40s. I love the big orchestras. There were so many of them while these days, big popular music orchestras are hard to find. I am from the Netherlands, and we only have one or two and they are struggeling.

When I was a kid in the 40s my mum played her records from 20 & 30s, I heard those songs as well as the 40s.
