Reality
Vladimir Cosma feat. Richard Sanderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would change for ever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I'd care
There was something special in the air

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it's meant to be

Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems all right
Although it's only fantasy

If you do exist
Honey, don't resist
Show me your new way of loving
Tell me that it's true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness is past
And maybe now at last
I'll see how the real thing can be

Dreams are my reality
A wondrous world where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would change for ever
Tell me that it's true
Feelings that are new
I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
A wondrous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy

Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you
Close to me
I dream of loving in the night




And loving you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality

Je t'ai rencontré par surprise
Je n'ai pas réalisé
Que ma vie allait changer pour toujours
Je t'ai vu te tenir là
Je ne savais pas que ça m'intéresserait
Il y avait quelque chose de spécial dans l'air

Les rêves sont ma réalité
Le seul type de fantaisie réelle
Les illusions sont une chose commune
J'essaie de vivre dans les rêves
C'est comme si c'était censé se produire.

Les rêves sont ma réalité
Un genre différent de réalité
Je rêve d'amour dans la nuit
Et l'amour semble bien aller
même si ce n'est qu'un rêve

Si tu existes vraiment
Chéri, ne résiste pas
Montre-moi une nouvelle façon d'aimer
Dis-moi que c'est vrai
Montre-moi ce qu'il faut faire
Je ressens quelque chose de spécial à ton sujet

Les rêves sont ma réalité
Le seul type de réalité
Peut-être que ma folie est passée
Et peut-être que maintenant, enfin
Je vais voir comment la vraie chose peut être

Les rêves sont ma réalité
Un monde merveilleux où j'aime être
Je rêve de te tenir toute la nuit
et te tenir dans mes bras me semble juste
Peut-être que c'est ma réalité

Je t'ai rencontré par surprise
Je ne me suis pas rendu compte
Que ma vie changerait pour toujours
Dis-moi que c'est vrai
Montre-moi ce que je dois faire
Je ressens quelque chose de spécial pour toi

Les rêves sont ma réalité
Un monde merveilleux où j'aime être.
Les illusions sont monnaie courante
J'essaie de vivre dans mes rêves
même si ce n'est que de la fantaisie

Les rêves sont ma réalité
J'aime rêver de toi près de moi
Je rêve d'amour dans la nuit.
Et l'amour semble aller bien
Peut-être que c'est ma réalité

Nous avons tous la nostalgie de cette époque que beaucoup d'entre nous n'ont pas connus.

GROS MERCI pour cette chanson . Je viens de l'écouter et j'ai chialé et oui à 51 balais car quand j'ai vu le film j'avais 10 ans et c'est cette chanson qui m'a donné envie d'aimer et fait comprendre que l'amour était le plus important pour nous tous.

Le film qui a révélé Sophie Marceau.
Un casting quatre étoiles pour une belle petite comédie sympa comme on savait les faire à l'époque.
Le genre de film où l'on ne se prenait pas la tête.

@user-nq7js7tn6h

This was my teenage favourite song

@simonbeauchamp1555

C'est toute ma jeunesse, passé à l'orphelinat, j'en ai encore des frissons, les gents parlaient encore de bonnes choses ou on riais encore, cette chanson est indissociable des années 1980. Claude, repose en paix au paradis blanc avec les artistes qui nous ont quitter ces dernières années R.I.P.
