Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked with you
Once Upon a dream
I know you
That gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
La da la da la ahahahahah
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
I know you
I walked with you
Once Upon a dream
I know you
That gleam in your eyes
Is so familiar a gleam
Yet I know it's true
That visions are seldom what they seem
But if I know you
I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream
The Disney Studio Chorus's Main Title Once Upon a Dream Prologue is a beautiful song that talks about the journey of love and how sometimes, it can be a little uncertain but ultimately worth it. The lyrics suggest that the two people singing the song have already met before in the past - "I know you, I walked with you, once Upon a dream" - and the gleam in the person's eyes is familiar. Despite the uncertainty of visions and what they seem, the singer is confident that the person they know will love them "at once" just as they did "once upon a dream".
The song captures the essence of love and its inexplicable nature. The sense of familiarity is a universal feeling when one is in love, and the singer sings with a sense of conviction and hope that the person they know will love them back. The idea of dreams is also significant in the song. Dreams can be elusive and confusing, but they can also be powerful and enlightening, and the singer is confident that the person they know will be able to see through the confusion and understand their love.
