I'll See You
Ray Miller and his Brunswick Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twilight sings a song,
Of the happiness that used to be;
Soon my eyes will close,
Soon I'll find repose,
And in dreams you're always near to me.
[Chorus]
Hold you in my dreams,
Someone took you out of my arms,
Still I feel the thrill of your charms,
Lips that once were mine,
Tender eyes that shine,
They will light my way tonight,
I'll See You In My Dreams.
The lyrics of Ray Miller Orchestra's I'll See You In My Dreams is a song about a person who yearns for the love he or she has lost. The opening line of the song, "Tho' the days are long" suggests that the person is battling a difficult situation or experiencing loneliness. The next line, "Twilight sings a song" implies that the situation gets worsened during the darker hours of the day. However, the person still finds solace in his or her memories of the past, where he or she was happy. The transition into the chorus where the singer mentions "I'll See You In My Dreams" carries an optimistic connotation to it. It suggests that the person will remain hopeful that one day he or she will reunite with their lost love, and the love will always remain in his or her memories.
The chorus is a reaffirmation of the person's love for the one who got away. The singer's recollection of holding the love of his or her life in their dreams is a metaphorical way of reaching out to them. The singer acknowledges that "someone took you out of my arms," and "lips that once were mine" suggests the person wants to be reunited with their former love. The singer, however, remains optimistic and assured of their love, and they will always feel the "thrill of their love's charm." The last line of the chorus, "I'll See You In My Dreams" reiterates the singer's affirmation that their love will never dissipate, even if they have to persevere in anticipation of their reunion.
Overall, the song is about hope, love, and never losing touch with the memories of a love once shared. It emphasizes the power of a memory, that even in the most difficult times, the singer finds solace in the memories experienced in the past.

Tho' the days are long,
Although the days seem endless,
Twilight sings a song,
Dusk sings of the past,
Of the happiness that used to be;
Of the joy we once shared;
Soon my eyes will close,
Soon I will sleep,
Soon I'll find repose,
And rest will come to me,
And in dreams you're always near to me.
And in my dreams, you are always close by.
I'll See You In My Dreams
I will see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams,
I will hold you in my dreams,
Someone took you out of my arms,
Someone took you away from me,
Still I feel the thrill of your charms,
Yet I still feel the excitement of your appeal,
Lips that once were mine,
The lips that used to be mine,
Tender eyes that shine,
The gentle eyes that gleam,
They will light my way tonight,
They will guide me tonight,
I'll See You In My Dreams.
I will see you in my dreams.

Isham was one of my favorite writers. I used his music at my wedding. I just love the melodic music of this era.
