Dreamy
Harmonizing Dreams: Unveiling the Melodic Tale by Henry Mancini
Lyrics
Won't you play some simple melody
Invitation to play a straightforward musical composition.
Like my mother sang to me
Nostalgia for a melody reminiscent of the singer's mother's songs.
One with a good old-fashioned harmony
Desire for a melody with a traditional, pleasing harmony.
Play some simple melody
Reiteration of the request for a simple, pleasant melody.
Musical demon, set your honey a-dreamin',
Addressing a skilled musician, urging them to evoke dreamlike emotions through music.
Won't you play me some rag
Request for a lively ragtime music performance.
Just change that classical nag to some sweet beautiful drag
Suggesting a transition from classical music to a more enjoyable, fashionable style.
If you will play from a copy of a tune
Preference for a rendition of a tune that is lively and exciting.
That is choppy you'll get all my applause
Applause promised for a performance with a lively, choppy rhythm.
And that is simply because I wanna listen to rag
Expressing a personal desire to listen to ragtime music.
Play for me
Request to play a musical piece with a harmonious, old-fashioned style.
That good old-fashioned harmony
Emphasizing the desire for music with a classic and pleasing harmony.
Oh, won't you play for me
Reiteration of the plea to play music with a simple and traditional melody.
A simple melody
Restating the request for a straightforward and uncomplicated musical composition.
Play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
Reemphasizing the preference for a lively and choppy tune.
You'll get all of my applause because
Promising applause for a performance with a lively and exciting rhythm.
I wanna rag it
Expressing a personal inclination toward enjoying ragtime music.
Ragtime melody
Final emphasis on the desire for a melody with a ragtime style.
