Dream Awake
Jennifer Rush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you alone in the shade of the night
A distant reflection I caught in my eyes
Is this real `cause I feel like you´re the one
My heart´s beating faster you´re taking my hand
You´re drawing me closer as we start to dance
Many times but not this way before

Won´t you stay

And hold me in your arms forever
Don´t want this night to fade away
I thought my eyes were closed but I
I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake
We´ll shine brighter than the stars together
This night will never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I
I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake

A moment of magic I just cannot place
Was I asleep the first time we embraced
So tell me have we been here before
Now that I´ve got you I won´t let you go
Won´t wake up tomorrow to find I´m alone
Now you´re here it´s so clear
My dreams became reality

Won´t you stay
And hold me in your arms forever
Don´t want this night to fade away
I thought my eyes were closed but I
I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake
We´ll shine brighter than the stars together
This night will never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I
I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake

Is my imagination running wild
Better pinch myself to see if I´m right
Is this just a fantasy
Or am I just make believing
I´m awake why am I dreaming

Won´t you stay
And hold me in your arms forever
Don´t want this night to fade away
I thought my eyes were closed but I
I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake
We´ll shine brighter than the stars together
This night will never turn to day
I thought my eyes were closed but I

I´m in a dream awake
I´m in a dream awake.

Line by Line Meaning

Saw you alone in the shade of the night
I saw you by yourself in the darkness of the night

A distant reflection I caught in my eyes
I saw a far-off image that caught my attention

Is this real `cause I feel like you´re the one
I'm wondering if this is real because I feel a connection with you

My heart´s beating faster you´re taking my hand
My heart is racing as you hold my hand

You´re drawing me closer as we start to dance
As we dance, you're bringing me closer to you

Many times but not this way before
I've experienced similar things before, but not like this

Won´t you stay And hold me in your arms forever Don´t want this night to fade away
I want you to stay with me and hold me forever because I don't want this amazing night to end

I thought my eyes were closed but I I´m in a dream awake I´m in a dream awake
I'm wide awake and living in a dream, it's almost too good to be true!

We´ll shine brighter than the stars together This night will never turn to day
We will light up the night more than the stars, and this night will never end

A moment of magic I just cannot place Was I asleep the first time we embraced So tell me have we been here before
I'm feeling an incredible moment that I can't explain, and I'm not sure if I've experienced this before

Now that I´ve got you I won´t let you go Won´t wake up tomorrow to find I´m alone Now you´re here it´s so clear My dreams became reality
Now that I have you, I won't let you go. I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find that tonight was only a dream. Finally, it's clear that my dreams have come true

Is my imagination running wild Better pinch myself to see if I´m right Is this just a fantasy Or am I just make believing I´m awake why am I dreaming
I'm wondering if I'm just imagining this or if it's really happening. I need to pinch myself to make sure it's not a fantasy. I'm awake, but it feels like a dream

Why this was never released is beyond me. Damn record companies. While it would be hard to top this great version I bet there could have been some great remixes.
