I Have A Dream
Jessica Simpson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You kissed me unexpectedly
The moment I just can't forget, we filled the air with promises
And sealed them up so tenderly
But life never asks you what you want, it's just gonna have it's way
And sometimes it doesn't give like it takes
[Chorus]
If tomorrow never happens, baby
If the world comes tumblin' down and crumbles all around us
Fat turns cruel, you're on your knees
Desperate for one truth
Know that I have loved you
Don't think I'll write another letter, or watch another pink sunset
Without thinking about you
I will take a walk along the blue seaside how will I sleep at night?
How will I wipe the tears from your eyes?
[Chorus]
Without a single hesitation
Without thought or reservation
Baby, I'll be waiting, even
[Chorus]
With all my heart and all my soul
Yeah, yeah
If I never see your face
If wings take you away from me
Know that I have loved you
The song "I Have a Dream" by Jessica Simpson is a beautiful and emotional ballad about a once-in-a-lifetime love that may be lost forever. In the opening lines, she reminisces about a perfect moment with her lover, where they were surrounded by a crystal blue sky and the bright sun reflected in their eyes. She also remembers a tender kiss and promises made between them. However, life is unpredictable, and sometimes it doesn't give you what you want. The song speaks to the unsettling reality that everything you have can be abruptly taken away from you, including the people you deeply love.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant as Simpson declares her love for the person she is addressing. Even if she never sees their face again, if they are taken away by some unfortunate circumstance or if the world crumbles around them, she wants them to always know that she has loved them with all her heart and soul. She doubts that she'll ever write another letter or watch another sunset without thinking about that person. She laments that it will be impossible to forget the person she loves, and even something mundane like a walk along the seaside or wiping away tears suddenly feels impossible to do without them.
"I Have a Dream" is a powerful and evocative song about the pain of losing something or someone you love deeply. It captures the feelings of desperation, sadness, and longing that are hard to express in words. The song's emotional and relatable lyrics, along with Simpson's powerful vocals, make it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with people from all walks of life.
