Dreaming of You
Selena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see (see me) me, and I
Wonder if you know I'm there (am I there? Am I?)
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?

I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day (wait for the day)
And the courage to say
How much I love you
(Yes I do)

I'll be dreaming of you tonight
'Til tomorrow ('til tomorrow) I'll be holding you tight
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazón, I can't stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can't stop dreaming
Cómo te necesito
I can't stop dreaming of you
Mi amor cómo te extraño

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can't believe
That you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too

Now I'm dreaming with you tonight
'Til tomorrow and for all of our lives ('til tomorrow)
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly

Dreaming with you tonight
'Til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight ('til tomorrow)
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly (I'll be dreaming)

Dreaming of you tonight
Endlessly
And I'll be holding you tight ('til tomorrow)
Dreaming with you tonight (endlessly)
Endlessly




Endlessly
Dreaming

Overall Meaning

The song "Dreaming Of You" by Selena is a powerful ballad about unrequited love, longing, and the hope that someday the feelings will be reciprocated. The first stanza sets the scene for the song, as the singer admits that they are unable to sleep at night because they are "thinking of you." They confess that they wish on a star that perhaps the person they are thinking about is thinking of them as well. The chorus reveals that the singer is "dreaming of you" and that they long to hold the person they are thinking about tightly. The song continues to explore the doubts and fears the singer has about whether or not the person they love even knows they exist, questioning whether they would care if they knew the truth. The singer admits that all they have are dreams of being together and they can't wait for the day when they can confess their love.


In the middle of the song, there is a bridge that transitions to a Spanish verse, where the singer expresses the depth of their love for the person and how much they miss them. The English and Spanish lyrics come together in the final chorus, as the singer declares that they are "dreaming with you tonight, 'til tomorrow, and for all of our lives." They end the song by repeating the word "endlessly", highlighting the never-ending love they have for the person they are dreaming of.

The Selena movie was the last movie I ever watched with my mom, when this song came on we’d lip sync together and dance in the kitchen while making food. Miss you mom 🖤
