Long Ago and Far Away
Eternal Dreams Realized: A Love Beyond Time
Lyrics
Long ago and far away
Reflecting on a distant time in the past.
I dreamed a dream one day
Recalling a dream that occurred at some point in the past.
And now that dream is here beside me
Expressing the realization that the dream has now become a reality.
Long the skies were overcast
Describing a time when the atmosphere was gloomy or uncertain.
But now the clouds have passed
Indicating that the difficult times have passed.
You're here at last
Celebrating the presence of a significant person in the present moment.
Chills run up and down my spine
Expressing a physical reaction, possibly to the overwhelming emotions.
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Using the metaphor of Aladdin's lamp to convey a sense of fulfillment or realization of wishes.
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Affirming that the dreamed-of desire has been achieved.
Just one look and then I knew
Describing a moment of realization or recognition upon seeing someone.
That all I longed for long ago was you
Acknowledging that the person in the present is what was yearned for in the past.
Long ago and far away
Repeating the reflection on a distant time in the past for emphasis.
I dreamed a dream one day
Reiterating the recall of a dream from the past.
And now that dream is here beside me
Reaffirming the current reality of the dream being fulfilled.
Long the skies were overcast
Recalling a challenging period characterized by overcast skies.
But now the clouds have passed
Noting that the difficult weather conditions have now improved.
You're here at last
Expressing joy and relief at the arrival of the significant person.
Chills run up and down my spine
Describing a physical reaction, suggesting intense emotions.
Aladdin's lamp is mine
Using the metaphor of Aladdin's lamp again to emphasize possession or fulfillment.
The dream I dreamed was not denied me
Reiterating that the dreamed-of desire has indeed been realized.
Just one look and then I knew
Expressing immediate recognition and understanding upon seeing someone.
That all I longed for long ago was you
Affirming that the person present is the fulfillment of past longings.
Just one look and then I knew
Repeating the idea of immediate recognition and understanding through a look.
That all I longed for long ago
Affirming that everything longed for in the past is embodied in the person.
Was you
Reiterating the singular focus on the significant person from the past.
