Long Ago and Far Away
Dreams Unveiled: Love's Arrival in the Song of Long Ago and Far Away
Lyrics
Long ago and far away
Reflecting on a distant time in the past
I dreamed a dream one day
Recalling a dream from a previous time
And now that dream is here beside me
The dream has become a reality and is now present
Long the skies were overcast
Describing a period of difficulties and challenges
But now the clouds have passed
Indicating that the obstacles have cleared
You're here at last
Expressing joy at the arrival of a significant person
Chills run up and down my spine
Feeling a physical and emotional reaction to the presence of someone special
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Metaphorically referring to having great fortune or wishes coming true
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Affirming that the dreamed-of scenario has materialized
Just one look and then I knew
Experiencing immediate recognition or understanding upon seeing someone
That all I longed for long ago was you
Realizing that the person is the fulfillment of past desires
Long ago and far away
Repeating the sentiment of reminiscing about the past
I dreamed a dream one day
Reiterating the recollection of a dream from the past
And now that dream is here beside me
Confirming the actualization of the dream in the present
Long the skies were overcast
Highlighting a period of adversity and challenges
But now the clouds have passed
Emphasizing the passing of difficult times
You're here at last
Expressing joy at the arrival of a significant person (repeated)
Chills run up and down my spine
Reiterating the intense emotional response to someone's presence
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Symbolically referring to possessing something magical or highly desired
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Affirming that the dreamed-of scenario has been realized (repeated)
Just one look and then I knew
Experiencing immediate recognition or understanding upon seeing someone (repeated)
That all I longed for long ago was you
Realizing that the person is the fulfillment of past desires (repeated)
Just one look and then I knew
Repeating the sentiment of immediate recognition upon a glance
That all I longed for long ago
Affirming that everything desired in the past is embodied in the person
Was you
Reiterating that the fulfillment of past desires is embodied in the person (repeated)
