What a Dream
Enchanting Night of Unfulfilled Dreams
Lyrics
Woke up this morning and I looked around
Upon waking, the speaker observes their surroundings.
So disappointed, I laid back down
Feeling let down, the speaker returns to bed.
Oh, what a dream, what a dream I had last night
Expressing awe or surprise about a dream experienced the previous night.
Dreamed I held you in my arms
In the dream, the speaker embraces someone (possibly a romantic interest).
But I'm still waiting for that day to come
Despite the dream, the anticipated day of being together has not arrived.
Oh, what a dream (what a dream) what a dream (what a dream) I had last night
Reiterating the impactful nature of the dream.
Dreamed we were walking down the aisle
Dream scenario of walking down the aisle, implying a wedding.
The organ was playing "Here Comes the Bride"
Describing the setting with the playing of the wedding march.
You looked out at me and you began to smile
The person being addressed smiles during the imagined ceremony.
When I looked around everybody began to cry
The emotional impact of the moment causes everyone to cry.
I opened my eyes, you weren't there
Awakening from the dream and realizing the absence of the person.
All of my happiness just disappeared
The happiness derived from the dream disappears.
Oh, what a dream (what a dream) what a dream (what a dream) I had last night
Reiteration of the profound impact of the dream.
I opened my eyes, you weren't there
Similar to line 14, emphasizing the loss of happiness upon waking.
All of my happiness just disappeared
Re-emphasizing the disappearance of happiness.
Oh, what a dream (what a dream) what a dream (what a dream) I had last night
Reiteration of the intense impact of the dream.
Oh, what a dream (oh, what a dream) what a dream (oh, what a dream) I had last night
Final repetition of the powerful nature of the dream.
