Vaughn Monroe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll see you in my dreams
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
I'll see you in my dreams

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

Great voice and orchestra too

@AS-zk6hz

Notice he does not rush this song with fast tempo. It's an old beautiful song. When I would say goodnight via phone to my girl when in the service with the Air Force I would finish our conversation with I will see you in my dreams. So this old song means a lot to me. As to Vaughn Monroe. He had a rich deep voice and a great orchestra.
