Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My dreams are getting better all the time
And, what do you know, he smiled at me in a different light
My dreams are getting better all the time
To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time
The lyrics to Mindy Carson's song 'All The Time And Everywhere' are centered around the theme of dreams. Carson talks about how her dreams are getting better all the time, as the man she's interested in keeps appearing and smiling at her in different ways. She talks about how they were strangers just a couple of nights ago, and how she never dreamed that he would ever say hello to her. Despite the fact that it's just a dream, she feels that she's getting closer to him, and she hopes that she'll be able to hold him close tonight.
The song is ultimately about hope and longing. Though it's not clear if the man is someone Carson actually knows in real life, she is clearly infatuated with him, and her dreams serve as a beacon of hope for her. She feels that each time she dreams, she's getting one step closer to her goal of being with him. The song speaks to the universal experience of having a crush, and the hope and anticipation that comes with it.
