Something I Dreamed Last Night
Dreams Haunting Reality: Unraveling Johnny Mathis' Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
I can't believe that you're not here with me
I am finding it hard to believe that you are not here with me.
To have a laugh or share a tear with me
I miss the moments when we used to share laughter or tears together.
It's all so wrong it can't be right
Everything feels wrong, and it seems impossible that it could be right.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
I think the separation must be a result of a dream I had last night.
To never see your funny face again
I am lamenting the thought of never seeing your funny face again.
To never thrill to your embrace again
The idea of never experiencing the thrill of your embrace again is distressing.
Oh, it's so wrong it can't be right
The situation feels so wrong that it cannot possibly be right.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
I suspect that what I'm going through is a result of a dream from the previous night.
Those midnight suppers for two
Recalling the midnight suppers for two, emphasizing the shared intimacy.
Our silly duets at dawn
Mentioning the silly duets at dawn, highlighting moments of shared joy.
Those crazy moments with you
Reflecting on the crazy moments spent together.
Don't tell me that they are gone
Expressing disbelief at the notion that those cherished moments could be gone.
To never look into those eyes again
Expressing the pain of never looking into the loved one's eyes again.
The sun might just as well not rise again
Suggesting that without the loved one, the sun rising loses its significance.
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
Rejecting the idea that the current situation is right; it feels inherently wrong.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
Speculating that the painful separation might be a result of a dream.
I've set the table and a plate for you
Symbolically setting the table and a plate, holding onto the hope of the loved one's return.
Making believe you will soon be here
Engaging in make-believe, desperately anticipating the loved one's presence.
I watched the dawn sit and wait for you
Watching the dawn while waiting for the loved one, acknowledging the impossibility of the situation.
It's impossible, hard as I try to convince myself
Struggling to convince oneself that the separation is real despite the efforts.
We've said goodbye
Acknowledging the painful reality of saying goodbye.
To never look into those eyes again
Reiterating the sorrow of never looking into the loved one's eyes again.
The sun might just as well not rise again
Emphasizing that without the loved one, the sunrise holds little significance.
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
Rejecting the idea that the current situation is right; it feels inherently wrong.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
Reiterating the suspicion that the painful separation is a result of a dream.
