Dream of Me
Longing Hearts: Embracing Love Across Miles
Lyrics
It's hard to be away
Expressing the difficulty of being separated.
From the one you love
Highlighting the feeling of being away from a loved one.
And the days seem slowly driftin' by
Conveying the slow passage of time during the separation.
But, my darling, I'll be home
Assuring the loved one of the intention to return home.
In your arms where I'll belong
Desiring to be in the comforting embrace of the loved one.
So I'm sending you this poem from my heart
Sending a heartfelt poem as a message.
Dream of me when you're lonely
Encouraging the loved one to dream about the speaker.
Dream of me when you're sad
Emphasizing the idea of being in the thoughts during loneliness.
'Cause, darling, I want you only
Expressing exclusivity in the desire for the loved one.
You're the nicest, nicest love I ever had
Complimenting the loved one as the best love ever experienced.
Although we are many, many miles apart
Acknowledging the physical distance between them.
You are always in my achin' heart
Affirming the constant presence of the loved one in the speaker's heart.
But, my darling, I'll be home
Reiterating the intention to return and belong in the loved one's arms.
In your arms where I belong
Expressing the emotional connection and desire to be with the loved one.
So I'm sending you this poem from my heart
Repeating the act of sending a heartfelt poem from the heart.
Dream of me when you're lonely
Reiterating the encouragement to dream during loneliness.
Dream of me when you're sad
Reemphasizing the connection between dreaming and sadness.
'Cause, darling, I want you only
Stating the exclusive desire for the loved one.
You're the nicest, nicest love I ever had
Affirming the loved one as the best love ever had.
Dream of me when you're lonely
Repeating the encouragement to dream when lonely.
Dream of me when you're sad
Reiterating the association of dreaming with sadness.
'Cause, darling, I want you only
Restating the exclusive desire for the loved one.
You're the nicest, nicest love I ever had
Reaffirming the loved one as the nicest love ever had.
Dream of me when you're lonely
Again encouraging the loved one to dream during loneliness.
Dream of me when you're sad
Repeating the connection between dreaming and sadness.
'Cause, darling, I want you only
Emphasizing the exclusive desire for the loved one.
