All I Have To Do Is Dream
Dreaming of Love: Barry Manilow's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
To express the act of dreaming
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Reiteration of the dream theme
When I want you in my arms
Desire to have the person in the singer's arms
When I want you and all your charms
Desire for the person and all their attractive qualities
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Highlighting the simplicity of getting what is desired
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Reiteration of the dream theme
When I feel blue in the night
Expressing feelings of sadness
And I need you to hold me tight
Desire for comfort and intimacy
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Highlighting the simplicity of getting what is desired
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
Reiteration of the dream theme
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Expressing the ability to make the person the singer's own
Anytime night or day
Availability of the person anytime, emphasizing day and night
Only trouble is, gee whiz I'm dreamin' my life away
Acknowledging the downside of spending too much time dreaming
I need you so that I could die
Expressing a strong need for the person
I love you so and that is why
Declaring deep love for the person
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Highlighting the simplicity of getting what is desired
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Reiteration of the dream theme
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
-I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Expressing the ability to make the person the singer's own
Anytime night or day
Availability of the person anytime, emphasizing day and night
Only trouble is, gee whiz I'm dreamin' my life away
Acknowledging the downside of spending too much time dreaming
I need you so that I could die
Expressing a strong need for the person
I love you so and that is why
Declaring deep love for the person
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Highlighting the simplicity of getting what is desired
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Reiteration of the dream theme
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
