FAR AWAY
The Countdowns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me
Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago
Was you
The Countdowns' song "Far Away" is a beautiful love song that captures the feeling of finally achieving a dream that was once just a distant hope. The song is about a dream that the singer had long ago, and he is now grateful that the dream has come true. The opening lines, "Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day" set the stage for a nostalgic reminiscing about a distant memory. The lyrics show that even though the singer has achieved his dream, the memory of dreaming and longing for the dream still lingers, which adds a sense of depth and complexity to the song.
The lyrics of the chorus, "Chills run up and down my spine, Aladdin's lamp is mine", suggest a feeling of awe and amazement. The singer has finally found the treasure at the end of the rainbow, and he can't quite believe it. This feeling is reinforced in the next line, "The dream I dreamed was not denied me", which emphasises the fact that the dream was difficult to achieve, and it took a lot of effort and perseverance to get there.
The song's message is clear: dreams can come true, and it's worth the waiting and working for. The final lines of the song, "Just one look and then I knew, that all I longed for long ago was you", underline the fact that the dream was not just about achieving a goal or acquiring a thing, but ultimately about finding love and companionship.

Long ago and far away
A distant and forgotten time, but still memorable
I dreamed a dream one day
A conscious hope that was not yet fulfilled
And now that dream is here beside me
The dream has finally come true
Long the skies were overcast
A time of gloom and misery
But now the clouds have passed
The difficulties have ceased to exist
You're here at last
The awaited person is finally present
Chills run up and down my spine
The feeling of excitement and nerves
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream has become a reality beyond expectation
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
The dream has become true unexpectedly
Just one look and then I knew
Immediately realized the truth
That all I longed for long ago was you
The only thing that was desired in the past was the person present now
