SWEET DREAMS
Judy Boucher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through

Why can't forget the past
and start my life anew
Instead of having
sweet dreams about you
You...
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know
I'll never wear your ring

I...
I should hate you boy
the whole night through
Instead of having
sweet dreams about you

I...
I should hate you boy
the whole night through
Instead of having
sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you
Things I know can't come true

Oh... Why can't I forget the past,
ans start loving someone new
Instead of having
sweet dreams about you

Instead of having
sweet dreams about you
Instead of having
sweet dreams about you




Instead of having
sweet dreams about you

Overall Meaning

Judy Boucher's song "Sweet Dreams" is about a woman who cannot seem to move on from a man, despite knowing that he does not love her. The lyrics portray the pain and confusion that the woman is feeling as she goes to bed every night, unable to forget the past and start anew with someone else. The woman recognizes that her feelings for this man are not reciprocated, and she knows that she will never wear his ring. However, despite this knowledge, she still cannot help but have sweet dreams about him.


The repeated line "Sweet dreams of you, every night I go through" emphasizes the woman's longing for a relationship that is not meant to be. She expresses a desire to forget the past and move on, but it seems that she is unable to break free from her attachment to this man. The song ends with a sad plea for the woman to stop having sweet dreams about him and start loving someone new, someone who will reciprocate her love.


Overall, "Sweet Dreams" is a poignant portrayal of unrequited love and the pain that can come from being unable to let go of the past. The lyrics effectively convey the woman's emotional turmoil as she struggles to move on.
