Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
Yes, I will see you in my dreams
You know I'll hold you in my dreams
I know that someone took you right out of my arms
But still I feel the thrill of your charms
I dream of lips that once were mine
And those tender eyes that shine
I know they'll light my way tonight
When I see you in my dreams
Yes, they will light my way tonight
Because I'll see you in my dreams

I'll see you in my dreams
I will dream of you and think of you fondly in my sleep
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
I will picture myself holding you close in my mind during my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Someone has taken you away from me and I am unable to physically hold you
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Despite not having you physically with me, I am still captivated by your allure and charm
Lips that once were mine
I am thinking nostalgically of moments when I was able to kiss you
Tender eyes that shine
I am thinking fondly of the way your eyes used to sparkle when you looked at me
They will light my way tonight
Remembering your bright and loving eyes will give me comfort and guide me through my thoughts tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
I will continue to dream about you and hold onto the memories of being with you
