daybreak
JIMMY DORSEY AND HIS ORCH. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The mist on the meadow is drifting away
For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now
And flowers break through their blanket of dew
Sunrise, how lovely it seems
To see from my window a sky full of dreams
As the white clouds sail on through the blue
At daybreak I did dream of you
The song "Daybreak" by Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra is a beautiful ode to the beginning of a new day. The lyrics are simple yet incredibly poetic, conveying both the natural beauty of daybreak and the emotional yearning of the singer. The first line sets the scene: "Daybreak, another new day". It's a reminder that each day is a fresh start, a chance to leave the past behind and embrace the present. The second line paints a vivid picture of the mist on the meadow, which is slowly dissipating as the sun rises. This creates a sense of stillness and anticipation as the world awakens.
The chorus is the heart of the song. "For it's daybreak, the sun's in the sky now / And flowers break through their blanket of dew / Sunrise, how lovely it seems / To see from my window a sky full of dreams". The imagery here is breathtaking. The singer observes the new day unfolding before him, encapsulated by the beauty of nature. The line "flowers break through their blanket of dew" is particularly evocative, as it suggests the fragility and transience of life. The reference to "a sky full of dreams" is also powerful, as it suggests the infinite possibilities of the day ahead.
The final verse brings the emotional dimension to the fore: "At daybreak I did dream of you". The singer has been thinking of someone special, perhaps a lover or a friend, and the beauty of daybreak has intensified his feelings. The lyrics capture the mix of hope and longing that comes with a new day, as well as the power of nature to inspire and uplift us.
