Long Ago and Far Away
Dreams Realized: Embracing Love Beyond Time - Frank Sinatra's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Way past your bedtime
Expressing a nostalgic reference to the past, suggesting a time long before the present.
(Crowd laughs and then subsides)
Indicates a reaction from a crowd, possibly laughter, followed by a quieting down.
Only kiddin', kids
A playful remark to reassure children after the crowd's reaction in the previous line.
Long ago and far away
Setting the stage in the distant past, creating a sense of time and distance.
I dreamed a dream one day
Describing a dream that occurred in the past.
And now that dream is here beside me
The dream has become a reality, and the person's desired outcome is now present.
Long the skies were overcast but
Referring to a period of difficulty or challenges in the past.
Now the clouds have passed
Indicating an improvement or positive change in the situation.
You're here at last
Expressing relief or joy at the current presence of a significant person or dream.
Chills run up and down my spine
Physical reactions, possibly shivers, as a response to intense emotions.
Aladdin's lamp is mine
A metaphorical reference to possessing something magical or extraordinary.
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Reiteration of the dream becoming a reality, emphasizing its fulfillment.
Just one look and then I knew
Describing a moment of realization or clarity upon seeing someone special.
That all I longed for long ago was you
Acknowledging that the person is the fulfillment of long-held desires.
Chills run up and down my spine
Recurrence of the shivers or intense emotions, reinforcing their significance.
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Reiteration of possessing something extraordinary, highlighting its importance.
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Emphasizing the realization of the dream, underscoring its undeniable fulfillment.
Just one look and then I knew
Repeating the idea of immediate recognition and understanding upon seeing a special person.
That all I longed for long ago was you
Affirming that the person in question has been the longed-for desire from the past.
