Street of Dreams
Over The Rainbow (Feat. J.R.Blackmore) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spellbound, there was someone calling
I looked around, no one was in sight
Pulled down, I just kept on falling
I've seen this place before
You were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
Do you remember me on a street of dreams?
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
There you stood, a distant memory
So good, like we never parted
Said to myself, "I knew you'd set me free."
And here we are right back where we started
Soemthing's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I know I see what I want it to be
But it's still a mystery
Do you remember me on the street of dreams?
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams
Tell me, have you always been
On the street of dreams?
Will we ever meet again, my friend?
Do you know just what it meant to be
On the street of dreams?
Never know just who you'll see, do ya
On the street of dreams
You can be who you want to be, oh yeah
I can hear you calling me
I can feel you haunting me
Haunting me

Line by Line Meaning
I heard the sound of voices in the night
I was present when voices were heard during the night
Spellbound, there was someone calling
I was captivated, as someone was calling for me
I looked around, no one was in sight
After hearing voices calling, I searched around but didn't see anyone nearby
Pulled down, I just kept on falling
I had a feeling of being dragged down, and I kept tumbling down further and further
I've seen this place before
This place is familiar to me
You were standing by my side
You were present beside me
I've seen your face before tonight
I have seen your face earlier tonight
Maybe I just see what I want it to be
Perhaps, I'm imagining what I want to see
I know it's a mystery
I'm aware that this is an enigma
Do you remember me on a street of dreams?
Do you recall meeting me on a magical street?
Running through my memory
A memory that lingers in my mind
There you stood, a distant memory
You were there as a remote recollection
So good, like we never parted
It felt perfect; as if we never drifted apart
Said to myself, "I knew you'd set me free."
I told myself, 'I knew you'd liberate me.'
And here we are right back where we started
And now we're back in the same place where we began
Something's come over me
I'm now feeling different in some way
And I don't know what to feel
I'm confused and don't know what to experience
Maybe this fantasy is real
It's possible that this is not just an illusion, but the truth
Now I know I see what I want it to be
I've realized that I'm witnessing what I desire to witness
But it's still a mystery
Although I understand this to an extent, it's still puzzling
You are on every face I see
Every face I observe reminds me of you
Tell me, have you always been on the street of dreams?
May I know if you have always been on this mystical street?
Will we ever meet again, my friend?
Is it possible for us to see each other once more, my acquaintance?
Do you know just what it meant to be on the street of dreams?
Do you realize the true significance of doing what you did on this road of dreams?
Never know just who you'll see, do ya
You never know who you may encounter, right?
On the street of dreams
While walking on this magical street
You can be who you want to be, oh yeah
One can become whatever they desire, surely
I can hear you calling me
I can perceive you calling out to me
I can feel you haunting me
I experience the feeling of you being present with me everywhere.

I heard the sound of voices in the night,
Spell bound there was someone calling,
I looked around no one was in sight
Pulled down and I kept on falling
I've seen this place before
And you were standing by my side
I've seen your face before tonight
Maybe I just see what I wanted to be
I know it's a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
There you stood a distant memory
So good like we never parted
Said to myself I knew you'd set me free
And here we are right back where we started
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I'm gonna see what I wanted to be
But it's still a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreams
You are on every face I see
On the street of dreams
Something's come over me
And I don't know what to feel
Maybe this fantasy is real
Now I'm gonna see what I wanted to be
But it's still a mystery
Do you remember me
On a street of dreams,
Running through my memory
On the street of dreeeeaaaaams
On the street of dreams
And will you always feel
On the street of dreams
Will we ever meet again my friend
On the street of dreams
Do you know just what it feels to be
On the street of dreams
Ever know just who you'll see
On the street of dreams
Don't you think who you'll wanna be oh no
On the street of dreams
I can hear you calling me
On the street of dreams
I can feel you haunting me...

I was about 10 years old when this song made a hit, and I will never forget listening to it on my dad’s stereo. I lost him only a couple of years later, and this song is one of my links to feeling like I get to visit him back in time. This song touches my soul to the core, and I want to thank all of the members of Rainbow who have made this possible for me through one of the absolutely most beautiful songs I have ever heard!!!!! This song is a gift!
@savannahday3178
God bless you trust me everytime you hear this song and think of him he's thinking of you too! He had great taste in music obviously he taught you well! Merry Christmas sweetheart
@dannygjk
I was about 20 I think.

Joe Lynn Turner has always been a brilliant vocalist. He and Foreigner’s Lou Gramm were my favourites, and they had very similar voices!
@dagmarclutter6735
Yes, they are both so amazing! Ironically, I just recently read that Joe Lynn Turner had actually been asked to join Foreigner (and Bad Company), but he opted to join Deep Purple instead. If he hadn't made that choice, this song probably never would have been gifted to us.
