Deep in a Dream
In the Embrace of Dreams: Chet Baker's Enchanting Melody
Lyrics
I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair
I create a subdued atmosphere by dimming the lights and settling into my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air
The smoke from my cigarette rises into the air.
The walls of my room fade away in the blue
The boundaries of my physical space disappear as I immerse myself in a blue-hued dream.
And I'm deep in a dream of you
I am profoundly lost in a dream, and the subject of this dream is you.
The smoke makes a stairway for you to descend
The ascending smoke serves as a pathway for you to descend into my presence.
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end
You come into my arms, and I hope this state of bliss lasts indefinitely.
For we love anew just as we used to do
We experience a renewed love reminiscent of our past encounters.
When I'm deep in a dream of you
I am still immersed in the dream, deeply connected to thoughts of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet music comes stealing
Beautiful music emanates from above, accompanying our journey through a lover's melody.
We glide through a lover's refrain, you're so appealing
Your charm is captivating, and I find myself openly expressing my love for you once more.
That I'm soon revealing my love for you over again
My dream intensifies as I reveal my feelings for you over and over again.
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start
Reality intrudes as my cigarette burns me, and I abruptly wake up.
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart
While physically unharmed, there is emotional pain in my heart.
Awake or asleep, every memory I'll keep
Whether awake or asleep, every memory of you is cherished and retained.
When I'm deep in a dream of you
I remain deeply immersed in the dream, preserving the memory of you.
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start
Reiteration of the burning cigarette and the abrupt awakening.
My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart
Similar to line 14, emphasizing the emotional pain despite physical well-being.
Awake or asleep, every memory I'll keep
Consistent with line 15, emphasizing the enduring nature of memories, whether awake or asleep.
When I'm deep in a dream of you
A repetition of being deep in a dream, reinforcing the theme of being captivated by the dream of you.
