Do You Dream Of Me
Michael W. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
There upon some distant shore
We want for nothing more than what will be
And you and I, here we are
I wonder as we've come this far
If I could only read your mind
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
Love has found a magic space
A deep and hidden place where time stands still
Now I hold you in my arms
You know you hold my heart and always will
And you and I, here we are
And it's a wonder that we've come this far.
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you.
Do you dream of me?
The lyrics of "Do You Dream Of Me?" by Michael W. Smith speak to the power of love and the desire to be needed and wanted by someone else. The song reflects on the moments of the night when one's thoughts and dreams take flight, and the singer wonders if the object of his affection dreams of him too. The first verse speaks of hope and the desire for something more while the second verse speaks of the magic of love and the unbreakable bond between two people.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of wonder at the relationship that has developed between the two individuals. They have come far and have leaned on each other, and now the question remains - do they dream of each other? The chorus repeats this question, asking if, when the other is smiling in their sleep or beyond the promises they have made, they dream of the singer.
In essence, the song is about the deep connection and longing that can develop between two people in a relationship. It speaks to the desire to be needed and loved by another, and the wonder that comes with finding that person who completes you.

Dreams within the still of night
In the quiet of the night, dreams arise within me
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
Filled with hope, my dreams take flight with wings inside me
There upon some distant shore
Far away on a shore
We want for nothing more than what will be
We desire nothing more than what the future holds
And you and I, here we are
You and I exist here together
I wonder as we've come this far
I question how we’ve come so far
If I could only read your mind
If I could only know what you’re thinking
Tell me the answer I would find
I would find the answer to my questions
Do you dream of me?
Do you dream of being with me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
When you’re happy in your dreams
Beyond the promises we keep
Further than the promises we make
Do you dream of me?
Do you dream of being with me?
Love has found a magic space
Love has found a special, magical place
A deep and hidden place where time stands still
A place deep and hidden where time seems to pause
Now I hold you in my arms
Now I embrace you
You know you hold my heart and always will
You have my heart and always will
And after all that we've been through
Despite all that we’ve experienced
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
We’ve supported each other
Do you dream of me?
Do you dream of being with me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
When you’re happy in your dreams
Beyond the promises we keep
Further than the promises we make
Do you dream of me?
Do you dream of being with me?
