Chasing Dreams
Chasing Dreams: A Bittersweet Symphony of Love and Farewell
Lyrics
There she goes
Expressing the departure of a woman.
Want to sweep her off her feet
Desire to impress or captivate her.
Hope she knows
Hoping she understands.
Every single time we meet
Every encounter reinforces love.
I feel as in love
Feeling deeply in love with her.
With her-er
Emphasizing the intensity of love.
As before-ore
Reiterating enduring love.
But I know that's not enough
Acknowledging love isn't sufficient.
To keep her from chasing dreams
Recognizing her pursuit of dreams.
I wish that she could be happy on our street
Desire for her happiness on their street.
I'll miss her so but I know
Anticipating her absence but understanding.
That's no reason to not let her go
Accepting the need to let her go.
Keep her from chasing after dreams
Supporting her in chasing dreams.
I will write her
Commitment to regular communication.
Every single day
Pledging daily written messages.
We will never
Expressing limitless conversation.
Run out of things to say
Emphasizing a continuous dialogue.
We can stay up
Highlighting late-night conversations.
For hours on the phone
Staying connected through long calls.
She will never ever feel alone (hit big E- on alone)
Ensuring she never feels alone.
But I know that's not enough
Admitting communication isn't enough.
To keep her from chasing dreams
Reiterating her pursuit of dreams.
I wish that she could chase her dreams on our street
Desiring her dreams to flourish locally.
I'll miss her so but I know
Anticipating missing her but accepting.
That's no reason to not let her go
Recognizing the importance of letting go.
Keep her from chasing after dreams
Encouraging her pursuit of dreams.
She hasn't broken my heart yet
Preempting a future heartbreak.
But I know she will
Acknowledging an inevitable breakup.
She says she loves me so
Her declaration of love is acknowledged.
But I know still
Awareness that love may not be enough.
That's why I'm going let her go (hold A7 for this line)
Deciding to let her pursue her dreams.
There she goes
Repeating the departure theme.
Want to sweep her off her feet
Reiterating the desire to impress her.
Hope she knows
Repeating the hope for understanding.
Every single time we meet
Emphasizing the impact of each meeting.
I feel
Expressing continued deep love.
As in love
Re-emphasizing intense love.
With her-er
Reiterating enduring love.
As before-ore
Emphasizing lasting love.
But I know that's not enough
Acknowledging love's insufficiency.
To keep her from chasing dreams
Expressing desire for local dream pursuit.
I wish that she could chase her dreams on our street
Wishing her dreams could coexist locally.
I'll miss her so but I know
Anticipating the missed presence but accepting.
That's no reason to not let her go
Reaffirming the importance of letting her go.
Keep her from chasing after dreams
Encouraging her to chase after dreams.
