Dream of You
Si Zentner and his Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are too wonderful to be what you seem!
Could there be eyes like yours,
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
Alone and apart out of a dream,
Safe in my heart
You stepped out of a dream
You are too wonderful to be what you seem!
Could there be eyes like yours,
Could there be lips like yours
Could there be smiles like yours,
Honest and truly?
You stepped out of a cloud
I want to take you away, away from the crowd
And have you all to myself,
Alone and apart out of a dream,
Safe in my heart
The lyrics to Si Zentner and his Orchestra's song "Dream of You" describe the feeling of being completely enamored with someone who seems almost too good to be true. The first verse portrays the singer's disbelief at the person's beauty, wondering if there could possibly be anyone with such lovely eyes, lips, and smiles. The second verse takes it a step further, imagining the person as having stepped out of a dream or cloud, and envisioning a future where they can be together and isolated from the rest of the world. The repeated line "you are too wonderful to be what you seem" reinforces the idea that the singer is completely awestruck by this person's perfection.
