But Only in My Dreams
Dreams of Unreachable Love: Marty Robbins' Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
I have held you in my arms
I have physically embraced you.
I have known your sweetest charms
I am familiar with your most delightful qualities.
Two hearts in love, at least that's how it seems
We, as a couple, appear to be deeply in love.
But only in my dreams
However, this romantic connection only exists in my dreams.
Though my days are often blue
Although my days are often melancholic,
Night are always spent with you
My nights are filled with thoughts of you.
There I know your love is really true
During these dream nights, I feel assured of your genuine love.
But only in my dreams
Yet, this love is confined to the realm of dreams.
I have dreamed a dream that
I've envisioned a scenario that, in reality, I couldn't achieve in love.
I couldn't have in love
A dream that symbolizes an unattainable love.
Just to have you for my own
This dream involves having you exclusively for myself.
I have known what life is for
I've understood the purpose of life.
Rich and gay with full reward
A life that is abundant and joyous, with ample rewards.
All that I could ever ask and more
Everything I could desire and more is part of this dream.
But only in my dreams
Yet, these aspirations are only fulfilled in the realm of dreams.
I have dreamed a dream that
Similar to earlier, I've dreamed of an unattainable love.
I couldn't have in love
Reiterating the dream of having you exclusively.
Just to have you for my own
This desire for exclusive love persists in my dreams.
I have known what life is for
Understanding the purpose of life is reiterated.
Rich and gay with full reward
A life filled with richness, happiness, and abundant rewards.
All that I could ever ask and more
All that one could wish for and more is part of this dream.
But only in my dreams
Yet, these dreams remain unfulfilled in reality.
