Dreaming
Toby Bourke & George Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's got a song in her head and she'll sing to me
She's got a laugh that reminds me of why she's in love with me
She'd never let show she was lonely in case it had frightened me
She was carpet and stone, independent, alone
But this love always shone around me every time, oh
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
And oh, I can't hold it all under one love
It was so long ago when we danced in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above while I waltz away anyway
And I'm waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
(I'm here if you see me)
She had a history, joy and pain, and she chose to leave
She had a thousand and one photographs that you would not believe
She'll come to you in disguise, she's there in you children's eyes
Still our mother, she's still your wife
So let her
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again, oh yeah
Free from the reasons and this state I'm in
And oh,(trust me) I can't hold it all
(she ain't going anywhere) under one love
(trust me, she told me, when you're ready she'll be there)
It was so long ago (no, don't let go of her)
When we kissed in the streets
Now you fly like an eagle above while I waltz away anyway
Then I'm waltzing my days away
Searching for this woman I love
(and the moment you see me, I will live in your life)
(we will walk through my garden, I will see through you eyes)
Waltzing my days away (and the moment)
I was in despair (you see me) till she found me there (I will live)
Every grown man cries (in your life) with his mother's eyes
(we will walk) when you're ready too (through my garden)
She'll come back to you (I will see through your eyes)
Waltzing my days away (and the moment) she's waiting
(you see me, I will live in your life)
Waltzing my days (we will walk) she's waiting
(through my garden, I will) father (see through your eyes)
She's waiting (and the moment you see me)
The lyrics to Toby Bourke and George Michael's song Waltz Away Dreaming speak about a woman who has left the singer but whom he still loves deeply. The woman is described as someone with a magical personality, with a song in her head and a wistful laugh that reminds the singer of their love. She is independent and strong, but the singer admits that he can't hold all his love for her under one umbrella. The chorus invites her to waltz away dreaming until her day begins again, free from the reasons why she left and the state the singer is in.
The lyrics describe a woman who, despite being physically absent from the singer's life, still plays a crucial role. She is the mother to their children and still his wife, despite the separation. The lyrics suggest that she is waiting for the singer to be ready for her to return to him. The singer is waltzing his days away as he searches for the woman he loves, and he knows that the moment he sees her, he will live in her life. The lyrics suggest that there is something magical and otherworldly about their love, as the woman is said to come to the singer in disguise and be present in the children's eyes.

She's got a song in her head and she'll sing to me
She always has a cheerful spirit and loves to share it with me
She's got a laugh that reminds me of why she's in love with me
Her infectious laughter reminds me of how much we love each other

Even when we were apart, our love still radiated and brought us closer together
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again
Take a break from reality and dream until a new day starts
Free from the seasons and this state I'm in
Escape from the constraints and limitations of life
And oh, I can't hold it all under one love
It's impossible to contain all the different kinds of love under just one label
It was so long ago when we danced in the streets
We had so much fun together and it feels like it was ages ago
Now you fly like an eagle above while I waltz away anyway
You're soaring high while I'm still searching for you
And I'm waltzing my days away
I'm passing time while I wait for you
Searching for this woman I love
I'm trying to find my soulmate, the woman I love with all my heart
She had a history, joy and pain, and she chose to leave
She's led a complex life with highs and lows, and she's no longer with me
She had a thousand and one photographs that you would not believe
She had countless memories of our time together, captured in photos
She'll come to you in disguise, she's there in you children's eyes
Even though she's gone, she lives on through our children
Still our mother, she's still your wife
She's still a mother and a wife, even though she may not be physically here
Waltz away dreaming till your day begins again, oh yeah
Keep dreaming until a new day starts, don't let reality bring you down
Free from the reasons and this state I'm in
Take a break from the stresses and struggles of life
Trust me, I can't hold it all under one love
It's impossible to contain all the different kinds of love under just one label, trust me on this
She ain't going anywhere
She's not going anywhere, she's staying put in our hearts and memories
Trust me, she told me, when you're ready she'll be there
Trust me, she said that she'll always be there for us when we're ready
It was so long ago when we kissed in the streets
It's been ages since we had that magical moment together
No, don't let go of her
Hold on tight to the love and memories we shared
Then I'm waltzing my days away
I'll continue to pass time while I wait for her return
She's waiting
She's waiting for us to be reunited again
And the moment you see me, I will live in your life
As soon as you see me, I'll be part of your life again
We will walk through my garden, I will see through you eyes
Together we'll experience life's joys and beauty, through your eyes
Father, see through your eyes
As your father, I'll see the world through your eyes
