Dreaming My Dreams with You
Jools Holland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope it won't be that wrong anymore
Maybe I've learned this time
I hope that I find what I'm reachin' for
The way it is in my mind

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.

But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I'm fondest of.

Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.

Someday I'll get over you




I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jools Holland & Brian Eno's song "Dreaming My Dreams With You" convey a sense of longing and hope, mixed with a kind of quiet acceptance of reality. The singer appears to be reflecting on a past relationship, hoping that they have learned from it and will find what they are looking for in the future. At the same time, they acknowledge that they will always miss the dreaming they shared with their former lover.


There is a certain sadness to the lyrics, a sense that something is lost that can't be replaced. Yet there is also a sense of resilience and determination, as the singer resolves to keep believing in love and giving it away to those they care about. It's a bittersweet, almost haunting song that captures the complexities of human emotion and the way we hold onto memories even as we move forward.


Line by Line Meaning

I hope it won't be that wrong anymore
I hope to avoid making the same mistakes again


Maybe I've learned this time
Perhaps I have gained knowledge and understanding from past experiences


I hope that I find what I'm reachin' for
I hope to achieve my desired goals


The way it is in my mind
As I envision it in my thoughts


But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I refuse to allow it to alter my being, if it is within my control


I'd rather believe in love
I prefer to have faith in the concept of love


And give it away as much as I can
And share it freely with those whom I hold dear


To those that I'm fondest of.
To those closest to my heart


Someday I'll get over you
One day I will move past the pain of losing you


I'll live to see it all through
I will continue living my life, despite the hardship


But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Though I will move on, I will still long for the moments when we shared our hopes and aspirations


Someday I'll get over you
Reiterating the desire to eventually move on from the lost relationship


I'll live to see it all through
Restating the determination to persevere through the pain


But I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you.
Reaffirming the special significance of the shared dreams, even in the absence of the person who shared them

All the things you said to me today
Changed my perspective in every way
These things count to mean so much to me
Into my faith you and your baby

It's out there
It's out there
It's out there
If you want me, I'll be here
It's out there
It's out there
It's out there
If you want me, I'll be here

I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

It's out there
It's out there
It's out there
If you want me, I'll be here
It's out there
It's out there
It's out there
If you want me, I'll be here

I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you

Dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place
That I'd lay down my face
Dreaming my dreams with you

If she only knew the profound impact everything about her and her music had on 16-18 year olds around the world at the time this was released. Iโ€™m now in my early 40โ€™s and the mere sight of Dolores brings me right back to THE best days of my life. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ™ฅ๏ธ

I was 5 years old in 1996, and she was the famous person who impacted the most when I was a child. I will always love her soul and her beautiful and unique voice

Not only my favorite Cranberries song, but probably my favorite song ever. Such a beautiful and introspective piece of music

Any time I listen to their songs I'm instantly transported to my teen years. The nostalgia makes me tear up.
