Overjoyed
Jennifer Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over time,
I've been buildng my castle of love
Just for two
Though you never knew you were my reason
Gone much too far, for you now to say
That I've got to fold my castle away

over dreams
I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was a view I've been dreaming
Sandman has gone I'm too far away
For you to say come that's some other day

Chorus
And though you don't believe that
They do they do come true
For did my dreams come true when I looked at you
And maybe too you would believe you too might be
Overjoyed over love over me

over harms I've had painfully turned every stone
Just to find I have found what I searched to discover
I've come much too far for me not to find
The love that I said could never be mine

Chorus
And though you don't believe that
They do they do come true
For did my dreams come true when I looked at you
And maybe too you would believe you too might be




Overjoyed over love over me
(Reapet)

Line by Line Meaning

Over time,
As time passed by,


I've been buildng my castle of love
I have been working to create a strong and beautiful foundation of love,


Just for two
For the two of us,


Though you never knew you were my reason
Even though you were unaware of the fact, you were the reason behind it all,


Gone much too far, for you now to say
I have invested too much of myself to attain this to hear you say now,


That I've got to fold my castle away
That I should just abandon everything I worked hard for in my castle of love.


over dreams
I had dreams of us together,


I have picked out a perfect come true
I have envisioned the perfect outcome for us,


Though you never knew it was a view I've been dreaming
Although it was a view that I had in my dreams, you were unaware of it,


Sandman has gone I'm too far away
Time has passed by, and I am now too far ahead in my endeavor,


For you to say come that's some other day
For you now to say that we can do this another day in the future is not acceptable.


And though you don't believe that
Even if you don't believe it,


They do they do come true
Dreams can and do come true,


For did my dreams come true when I looked at you
My dreams became a reality because of you,


And maybe too you would believe you too might be
Perhaps you would understand and believe that it could happen to you too,


Overjoyed over love over me
You would feel ecstatic, just as I do when it comes to love and me.


over harms I've had painfully turned every stone
Even when things got tough, I did not give up; I looked everywhere for love,


Just to find I have found what I searched to discover
And finally, I found exactly what I was searching for in my quest for love.


I've come much too far for me not to find
I invested too much time and effort to give up before I find what I'm looking for.


The love that I said could never be mine
The love I thought I could never have.
