When I Dream
Dreaming of Love Beyond Riches: Eddy Arnold's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I could have a mansion
I could possess a grand residence
That is higher than the trees
That surpasses the height of the trees
I could have all the gifts I want
I could have all desired material possessions
And never ask please
Without needing to ask for anything
I could fly to Paris
I could travel to Paris
[?] at my beck and call
With luxury and comfort readily available
Why do I go through life
Questioning why I continue through life
With nothing at all
With no possessions or achievements
But when I dream
However, in my dreams
I dream of you
I envision you
Maybe someday
Possibly anticipating a future realization
You will come true
That you will become a reality
I can be the singer
I can take on the role of a singer
Or the clown in every room
Or the entertaining figure in any gathering
I can even call someone
I can even establish a connection with someone
Take me to the moon
To the extent of reaching the moon
I can put my makeup on
I can apply makeup
And drive the men insane
And captivate the attention of men
I can go to bed alone
I can go to sleep alone
And never know his name
Without knowing the identity of my partner
But when I dream
Nevertheless, in my dreams
I dream of you
I envision you
Maybe someday
Hopeful that, eventually
You will come true
You will become a reality
But when I dream
Yet, when I dream
I dream of you
My dreams are centered around you
Maybe someday
With the anticipation that
You will come true
You will materialize someday
