Dream With Me
Jackie Evancho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could capture the moon
And paint a sky full of blue
I'd plant two stars
To light the night

If I could skip along clouds
Until the wind sing out loud
Rewrite the rhyme
And slow down time

I see a world where a world
Where every boy and girl
Has all they need to live free

Imagine a world that's kind
With not a child left behind
Where everyone could share the sun





Life is all I adore
Dream with me

Line by Line Meaning

If I could capture the moon
If I had the power to catch the moon


And paint a sky full of blue
And color the sky with the perfect shade of blue


I'd plant two stars
I would put two stars in the sky


To light the night
So that it illuminates the darkness


If I could skip along clouds
If I could move smoothly among clouds


Until the wind sings out loud
Until I can hear the wind's song clearly


Rewrite the rhyme
Change the words to make them perfect


And slow down time
Stop time from moving so quickly


I see a world where a world
I imagine a world where there is a world


Where every boy and girl
In that world, every child


Has all they need to live free
Has everything necessary to live life freely


Imagine a world that's kind
Think of a world that is characterized by kindness


With not a child left behind
Where no child is forgotten or ignored


Where everyone could share the sun
Where everyone can enjoy the warmth of the sun


Life is all I adore
My love for life is all-encompassing


Dream with me
Please join me in imagining this wonderful world

To my ears this little tune's vocals are perfect. No other sound like this! I wouldn't be surprised that between those few lines a whole story couldn't be told. It is much better than it is given credit for.

When she hits the high note at 2:07 so perfect & effortlessly, I get chills 😍😎

@T Boda Certainly there are many talented young people in music schools, but this young lady was performing this entire concert of 15 songs in 3 languages for the PBS Great Performances series four days after her 11th birthday. This is but one of the songs. Another PBS Special followed at age 12 and again at 14. She remains the youngest artist to headline Lincoln Center with a solo concert at age 11. And, she still holds the record as the youngest Platinum-selling artist in US history. There's really nothing fair when considering the historic achievements of this prodigy who was gifted with a one-in-a-million voice (acknowledged a "pure opera voice" -link below), perfect relative pitch, an extraordinary innate understanding of music structure, and exceptional interpretive skill, never having been in music school or professionally trained. Her voice made her a multi-millionaire at age 13 earned from solo concerts, special appearances across the country and around the world, and prestigious private engagements. Where do we see the music students? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YZHwIfFCLw

Btw, shes a fine singer. But there are many such talented young people at music schools all over the world!
That takes nothing from her. It just makes it fair to all the others. Wouldnt Bob want us to be fair?
And nice? Whisper that last part.

T Boda

Why do I think there's another, pecrfect, genius, better than anyone, plus, a heaven sent perfect angelic being arriving like Bob Ross.
She is being anointed right now. Do not dare say anything about her that smacks of criticism.
Even if you are a musical Expert of Experts. We'll get you!!! Please do a little music study before you crown her the Bob Ross of singing.

Still one of my all time favorites that Jackie has ever sung... Something about dreams with me ya know?. I guess I'm a dreamer at heart and she sings a few songs about them so well I keep coming back... Oh yeah here 10 years later , she has a new number one in my fav book.. called "A Million Dreams" that I listen to almost everyday. Her positive humble approach to life inspires many including me.. "A Million Dreams" is one of many great songs on her newly released "The Debut" CD
