All Time High
antonio rossi and his orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, what do you know, he smiled at me in my dreams last night
My dreams are getting better all the time
And, what do you know, he smiled at me in a different light
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello




Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Antonio Rossi and his Orchestra's song "All Time High" speak to the transformative power of dreams. The singer describes dreaming of a person who they previously didn't know, but has now appeared in their dreams smiling at them in a different light. The dreams are getting better and better all the time, and even though the encounter is just a dream, it feels real and brings the possibility of holding him tight under the moonbeams.


The song is a beautifully crafted depiction of the intensity and unpredictability of dreams, which can sometimes magically bring people together. The lyrics convey a sense of excitement and elation at the possibility of this new connection, and the singer seems to delight in the experience of seeing the object of their affection in a new, positive light.


The song was originally featured as the theme song for the James Bond film "Octopussy" in 1983, and was performed by Rita Coolidge. While the original version of the song is more upbeat and pop-like, Antonio Rossi and his Orchestra's version is a slow, tender ballad that emphasizes the romantic and dreamlike aspects of the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

Well, what do you know, he smiled at me in my dreams last night
I saw him in my dream last night and he smiled at me unexpectedly


My dreams are getting better all the time
I have been having better experiences in my dreams lately


And, what do you know, he smiled at me in a different light
He appeared differently in my dream and smiled at me


To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
It's amazing to think that we didn't even know each other just a few nights back


And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Even though it was just a dream, I never expected him to greet me


Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
Perhaps tonight I'll get to embrace him under the moonlight


My dreams are getting better all the time
My dreams have been consistently improving over time
