I Dream With an Angel Tonight
Sally Shapiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In dawn I am dancing with clouds
They laugh and they smile at the face
Finding comfort in my own embrace
Still here though I don't know why
My truth is only a lie
I knew how to fly but soon I will hit the ground
You've never been anything but a friend, my dear
It shouldn't be enough
This story was never intended to be
And you were never intended for me
No you were never intended for me
I sleep with an angel tonight
She caress my body and mind
And she says don't forget who you are
The journey starts and you will travel far
Still here though I know my name
The circus is only a game
You want me to stay but we will not be the same
I know
You'll never be anything but a friend, my dear
You know it's not enough
This story was never intended to be
And you were never intended for me
No you were never intended for me
Oh, oh, oh
You've never been anything but a friend, my dear
It's not enough for me
This love was never intended to be
And you were never intended for me
No this was never intended for me
The song I Dream With an Angel Tonight by Sally Shapiro is a dreamy and melancholic synthpop track that explores the themes of love, friendship, and identity. In the chorus, the singer dreams about an angel who provides comfort and assurance that the journey ahead will be fulfilling, despite the sense of uncertainty that prevails. The dreamy atmosphere is further enhanced by the verses where the singer is dancing with clouds, finding comfort in her own embrace, and being caressed by the angel. However, there is an underlying sense of sadness and resignation as the singer realizes that the love and companionship she seeks might never be fulfilled. She addresses her friend, acknowledging that they have always been just that, friends, and that their story was never intended to be a love story. The song ends with the repetition of the line "No, you were never intended for me", underscoring the singer's acceptance of her fate and the loss of what could have been.
The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation, and one of the possible readings is that the singer is struggling with her own identity and the choices she has made. The line "My truth is only a lie" suggests that she might be living a life that is not true to her nature or desires, which is why she seeks solace in dreams and the embrace of an angel. The mention of the circus also adds to this interpretation, as the circus is often associated with the idea of a performance or masquerade. At the same time, the singer addresses her friend with a sense of regret and longing, as if they could have been more than friends, but circumstances have prevented that from happening.
Overall, I Dream With an Angel Tonight is a touching and introspective song that captures the bittersweet nature of unrequited love and the search for personal fulfillment.

I dream with an angel tonight
I fantasize about being in the company of an angel in my sleep
In dawn I am dancing with clouds
When dawn breaks, I imagine myself dancing with clouds
They laugh and they smile at the face
The clouds seem to respond happily to my dance moves
Finding comfort in my own embrace
I feel content in my own company and embrace my solitude
Still here though I don't know why
I exist but I am not certain of my purpose
My truth is only a lie
What I think of as my reality is actually false
I knew how to fly but soon I will hit the ground
I used to feel like I had it all figured out, but soon I will come crashing down
You've never been anything but a friend, my dear
You have never been more than just a friend to me
It shouldn't be enough
Our friendship is not satisfying for me anymore
This story was never intended to be
This was not supposed to be our love story
And you were never intended for me
We were never meant to be together
I sleep with an angel tonight
I dream of being comforted by an angel in my sleep
She caress my body and mind
The angel soothes my body and mind
And she says don't forget who you are
The angel reminds me to stay true to myself
The journey starts and you will travel far
A new journey is beginning for me and I will go far
Still here though I know my name
I am still alive and conscious of who I am
The circus is only a game
What I thought was important is actually just a game or show
You want me to stay but we will not be the same
You want me to stay, but our relationship will never be the same again
You'll never be anything but a friend, my dear
You will always be just a friend to me, my dear
You know it's not enough
You are aware that being a friend is not enough for me
This love was never intended to be
Our relationship was not meant to be one of love
And you were never intended for me
You and I were never meant to be together
No this was never intended for me
Our relationship and love was never meant to happen to me

This is what i could guess so far, it's not perfect, i keep doubting in some parts and im not native english speaker: I Dream With An Angel Tonight
In Dawn, im Dancing with Clouds
They Laugh at the Smile of the Face
Finding Confort in my own embrace
Still Leave though, I don’t know why
My Truth, is only a Lie
I know How to Fly
But Soon I will leave the ground
Oh no….
You Will Never be anything but a Friend, my dear
It should be enough…
This Story was never intended to be
And you were never intended for me
No, you were never intended for me...
I Sleep with a an angel Tonight
She Caress my body and mind
And she says: “Don’t Forget who you are”
“The Journey started, you will travel far”
Still Here though I know my name
This Circus is only a game…
You Want me to Stay, but really it won’t be the same..
oh no…
You Will Never be anything but a Friend, my dear
You know it’s not enough
This Story was never intended to be
And you were never inteded for me
But, you were never intended for me...
….
You Will Never be anything but a Friend, my dear
It’s not enough for me
This Love was never intended to be
And you were never inteded for me
No, this was never intended to be...
