I Like Dreamin'
Kenny Nolan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine.
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight.
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light.
I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine.
We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times.
Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand.
I'm touching you, you're touching me.
If only it could be.
I like dreamin' cause dreamin' can make you mine.
I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine.
When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight.
Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light.
Through each dream how our love has grown.
I see us with our children and our happy home.
Little smiles, so warm and tender looking up at us.
Blessed by love, the world we share
Until I wake and reach for you
And you're just not there.
I like dreamin' 'cause dreaming can make you mine.
I like holding you close and touching your skin
Even if it's in my mind.
Oh, sweet dream baby, I love you.
Oh, my sweet dream baby, you're in my dreams every night.
Kenny Nolan's "I Like Dreamin'" is a love ballad about dreaming and how powerful they can be. It suggests that it's possible to escape the mundane world in our minds and create new, beautiful realities where we can fulfill our deepest desires. The lyrics talk about a person who loves dreaming because it allows him to create a world where he can be close to the one he loves. He finds solace in holding her tight as if she were really there. The song includes wonderful imagery of a couple walking along the beach, holding hands, feeling the sand between their toes, and watching the sunset. The singer believes that dreams can make anything possible, even if it's just in his mind.
The song continues to focus on the idea of love and dreams, and how these thoughts can grow stronger with time. The singer imagines his future where he is married with children, and even in his dreams, he can feel happy and content. The last verse brings sadness, revealing that it is all just a dream, and he wakes up to find that his dream wasn't real.
"I Like Dreamin'" is a beautiful love song that gives the listener hope that a world without limits exists in our minds. It reminds us that we always have the power to dream and create something beautiful, even if only for a moment.

In 1981, I was in love with a girl but was too ashamed to say so, we lost touch and 37 years later, we were married on March 30, 2018. No more dreaming for us both.!!

This is one of many great songs of the seventies....today's sounds don't come anywhere close to this....soft tunes with meaningful lyrics that touch the heart....those times are gone but glad it happened in my time and feel sad for those who will never hear heartwarming music like this.....all who got to hear Kenny sing and appreciated him will never forget him. The 70s a great time to have been a part of.

Reminds me of someone I really enjoyed knowing and spending time with back in 1996 - 97... Stacy was a sweetheart!

Never understand why every time I hear this song I get such an overwhelming feeling of a deep emotion that I can't explain.
