Something I Dreamed Last Night
Unveiling Dreams: Marlene Dietrich's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
I can't believe that you're not here with me
I am in disbelief that you are not here with me.
To have a laugh or share a tear with me
I miss the shared experiences of laughter and tears with you.
It's all so wrong it can't be right
Everything feels wrong, and it seems impossible to be right.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
I suspect that the absence of you is due to a dream I had last night.
To never see your funny face again
I contemplate the idea of never seeing your humorous face again.
To never thrill to your embrace again
The thought of not experiencing the thrill of your embrace 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 attribute this feeling to something I dreamt last night.
Those midnight suppers for two
Recalling the shared midnight suppers for two.
Our silly duets at dawn
Remembering the silly duets sung together at dawn.
Those crazy moments with you
Nostalgia for those crazy moments shared with you.
Don't tell me that they are gone
Rejecting the notion that those moments are gone.
To never look into those eyes again
The sadness of never looking into your eyes again.
The sun might just as well not rise again
The idea that the sun may as well not rise without you.
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
Expressing doubt that the current situation is right.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
Blaming the feelings on something dreamt the night before.
I've set the table and a plate for you
I've prepared a table and a plate for you, hoping you'll soon be here.
Making believe you will soon be here
Engaging in make-believe, imagining your presence.
I watched the dawn sit and wait for you
Watching dawn and waiting for you, though it seems impossible.
It's impossible, hard as I try to convince myself
Despite efforts, it's hard to convince myself that you're truly gone.
We've said goodbye
We have said our goodbyes.
To never look into those eyes again
The sorrow of never looking into your eyes again.
The sun might just as well not rise again
The feeling that the sun might as well not rise without you.
Oh no, no, no, it can't be right
Expressing doubt that the current situation is right.
It must have been something I dreamed last night
Attributing these emotions to something dreamt the night before.
