Those Good Old Dreams
Jette Torp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All alone I created fantasies
As I grew people called it self-deceiving
But my heart helped me hold the memories
As I walk through the world I find around me
Something new, yet familiar's in the air
I feel it everywhere
I'm lookin' at you now, finding answers to my prayers
It's a new day for those good old dreams
One by one it seems they're comin' true
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
Here's the morning that just had to come through
Same old stage but what a change of scene
No more dark horizons, only blue
It's a new day for those good old dreams
All my life I dreamed of lovin' you
You're a spark of a long forgotten fire
You're a touch of a slowly growing wind
You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons
Telling me there are some things that don't end
We have left all the darkness far behind us
All those hopes that we held along the way
Have made it to this day
Like an old love song gone for much too long
You hear it once again and it carries you away

As a child I was known for make-believing
When I was young, I was known for imagining things that weren't real
All alone I created fantasies
I created these fantasies all by myself
As I grew people called it self-deceiving
As I got older, people said I was fooling myself
But my heart helped me hold the memories
But I knew in my heart that these memories were important to me
As I walk through the world I find around me
As I go through life and see what's around me
Something new, yet familiar's in the air
I sense something that is both new and familiar
I feel it everywhere
It's all around me
Like a child's eyes on a Christmas night
It's like seeing the excitement of a child on Christmas Eve
I'm lookin' at you now, finding answers to my prayers
Now that I see you, I finally understand what I've been searching for
It's a new day for those good old dreams
My old dreams are finally coming true
One by one it seems they're comin' true
It looks like each dream is coming true, one at a time
Here's the morning that my heart had seen
This is the morning that I always knew was possible because my heart believed in it
Here's the morning that just had to come through
This is the morning that was always meant to be
Same old stage but what a change of scene
Although things may look the same, everything feels different now
No more dark horizons, only blue
There are no more bad times to worry about, only good
All my life I dreamed of lovin' you
For my entire life, I have dreamt of loving someone like you
You're a spark of a long forgotten fire
You have reignited a passion that I thought was long gone
You're a touch of a slowly growing wind
You are a gentle breeze that has been slowly building over time
You're a taste of the ever-changing seasons
You represent the changing seasons, always bringing something new and different
Telling me there are some things that don't end
You are a reminder that some things never truly come to an end
We have left all the darkness far behind us
We have moved on from all of the bad times in the past
All those hopes that we held along the way
Throughout our journey, we never lost hope
Have made it to this day
And now we have arrived at this momentous day
Like an old love song gone for much too long
This moment is like hearing an old love song that has been gone for too long
You hear it once again and it carries you away
Hearing it once again takes you on a journey through old memories
