Long Ago and Far Away
Embracing Dreams: Love Found Beyond Time
Lyrics
Long ago and far away
Reflecting on a distant time and place
I dreamed a dream one day
Recalling a dream from the past
And now that dream is here beside me
The dream has become a reality, and the person or thing dreamed of is now present
Long the skies were overcast
Describing a period of difficulty or uncertainty
But now the clouds have passed
Expressing that the challenges have cleared, and the situation has improved
You're here at last
Celebrating the arrival of a significant person or moment
Chills run up and down my spine
Feeling intense emotions, possibly a mix of excitement and nervousness
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Reference to a magical object, suggesting a sense of wish fulfillment
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
The dream has come true without being denied
Just one look and then I knew
A moment of realization upon seeing someone or something
That all I longed for long ago was you
Confirming that the desired person or thing from the past is now present
Long ago and far away
Repeating the theme of reminiscing about a distant time
I dreamed a dream one day
Reiterating the recollection of a past dream
And now that dream is here beside me
Affirming the realization of the dream in the present
Long the skies were overcast
Describing a challenging period
But now the clouds have passed
Expressing the improvement in the situation
You're here at last
Expressing joy at the arrival of the desired person or moment
Chills run up and down my spine
Physical reaction to strong emotions
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Symbolic reference to possessing something magical or extraordinary
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Reiteration that the dream has been realized
Just one look and then I knew
Another moment of realization upon seeing the desired person or thing
That all I longed for long ago was you
Reaffirming that the longed-for person or thing is now present
Just one look and then I knew
Repeating the theme of realization upon seeing the desired person or thing
That all I longed for long ago
Affirming that all longed-for things in the past were centered around the present person or thing
Was you
Concluding that the ultimate longing in the past was for the present person or thing
