Bobbie Gentry - All I Have To Do Is Dream Lyrics

That was my husband and my song. He died in 2017 but when i want to see him all i have to do is dream of him. We was married 47 years when he died and i still love him with al my heart. We will meet again in Heaven. Love Judy

私は日本人ですがコメントをUPさせて下さい。数年前You Tubeで「グレン・キャンベル＆ボビー・ジェントリ」の
【夢を見るだけ】がUPされていたのですが消されてしまい、「夢を見るだけ」が入っているグレン・キャンベルのCD
を購入し何時も聞いていました。このを初めて知ったのは友人が1969年「モコ・ビーバー・オリーブ」が歌う「夢を見るだけ」の
レコードを持っていて聞かせてもらい、良い曲だと思っていました。「夢を見るだけ」の元歌はエヴァリー・ブラザースが
歌っていたのですね。でもやはり「グレン・キャンベル＆ボビー・ジェントリ」が歌っている「夢を見るだけ」が
演奏も良いし、歌声も良いし、言う事がありません。sunyse111さんUPありがとうございます。

Glen could sing anything. So much talent

Beautiful song.. I LOVE it.

Fantastic memories of my youth playing pool to the sound of the duke box

Dedicated to the woman I love who does not even like me.

Nice vocals and nice arrangement.

One of the best mixed gender duet pairings in history. No show-offs here. Just tight, perfect blend harmonies. Two great down-home talents singing a song they obviously love. Take that Lady Gaga!

❤️❤️❤️🌈😊😍🌈❤️❤️😍

So very, very beautiful....their voices seem to blend together as one....perfection 💜 ❤ 🎶🎶🎵

So do the Eveleys

You know,i love this version too.thanks everly brothers and you too bobby gentry.so sweet with the strings line.

Prefiero oir la versión original de los Everly Brothers.

Good thing I have this song on one of my 6 record sets from the Columbia Musical Treasury.

Me and Mary, my wife....danced to this song way back in 1970 ..our wedding dance...I was 21 ...Mary was 19yrs old.....I still love that girl so much......Frank xx

pippymoomoo : I couldn't hear her either; but maybe, her voice just blended perfectly with Glen's voice. I'm 66 years old and have loved this song since I was a little kid.

wow nice revive i love it

En underbar låt från min ungdom, med ett jätteskönt komp.

Wonderland voices

I remember when this came out in 1972.

marc dewey that would be 1969

Better than Everly Brothers song

Key of E flat

Love this version!

Innocent times...

Bobby is so quiet in the mix.

love this version,,,but,,i couldnt hear Bobbie Gentry on this at all.but when it used to be played on the radio you could hear her

It's true, Rebecca - Bobbie does sing very quietly on this!

so i wonder why when this is played on the radio you can hear it more clearly?,,thank you for posting

Yeah, I'm used to hearing Bobbie Gentry more clearly on this recording.

Notes say it has been "remastered".

Är det inte en underbar låt?

I couldn’t hear Bobbie Gentry like it was just Glen Campbell singing by himself! :/ Beautiful song though! 💞

Yes, she contributes a very gentle harmony.

I'll always Love you Beverly. You'll be in my Heart forever...

This was the song that was playing when I first asked my wife to dance - 45 years on and it still touches a nerve.

Haha - is that "touched a nerve, ouch!" or "sigh, yesss!" ?

This is m y song!!!! I can't express with words how it makes me feel this one!!!! Actually I prefer much more the Everly's version(with their unique harmonies) but I like this performance as well!! "All I have to do is dream..."!! I'm a dreamer...And even none of my dreams has come true I keep on dreaming!!!! Wonderful choice-thanks for sharing, Vic!! 💖🎈☁⛅🎈💖

"I keep on dreaming" .... now THERE'S a title for a poem !

sunryse111 Inspiration huh? Great!!

Absolutely!

De verdad que estas canciónes son algo que jamás , pero jamás , se olvidaran, nuestra adolescencia fue con estas y ahí quedan , para nuestro gran recuerdo.

Thank you, Jorge, for your kind comment

this song still stops me in my tracks, not sure why. it was popular at a time i was hopelessly smitten by a certain italian lady i had met on holidays some 50 yrs ago. somehow i knew it could never be the love i had hoped for, but I lived in hope and still do, and this song's sentiment brings me to the hope i will find that same emotional level again. a forlorn hope maybe. - grayman49

Like the "Alice" in "Living Next Door to Alice", the love of my life walked away 60 years ago and went to live in South Africa. I never saw or heard from her again. But I have never forgotten .... thanks for your great comment.

Impeccable . . .

Thank you, Ernst - a true comment.

Bobbie Gentry was a definite ' Dream Lover ' . Glenn Campbell, the perfect singing dreamer.

They really clicked together on this one. Sorry we lost Glen recently. Love this cover of the Everly Brother's original.

Me too, Charles. Thank you for your kind comment. I wish you a happy and safe weekend.

It's a good alternative of the original because it's a man and woman singing it like lovers.
However it can never be better that Phil and Don's wonderful original.

Tastes vary. I have given BOTH versions a place on this channel.

Very nice post Victor! Rest in Peace Glen Campbell...

Thanks, Ron. Hope all is well with you.

There was a time when music was just so brilliant......not saying that music nowadays isn't but there was something special about it back then

90% of todays music is garbage. Music back then was magic.

Indeed it was - as only those of us who lived those days can affirm|!

Besides what's already said, aging has a lot to do with our preferences...

sunryse111 don’t you worry I’m 19 and I can whole heartedly say that music back in the day was sooooo much better than what it is now. I wish I lived back then just for the music

Yes this is real talent. Nowadays singers use computers to fix their recordings. It’s called “canned” music. This is fresh off the vine music!

RIP Glen Campbell

Yes, such sad news.

Tapped a young girl on the shoulder and smooched to the last dance of the night, we're still together after 47 years.Love this song!

How cute

You silver-tongued smoothie you! Congratulations.

Mike Nicholas same here, forty nine years and the song takes us right back, beautiful song!

thats the perfect dream mike...

Warms my heart lucky you mike

Love this version, and to me the best version

Thanks, Phil. Thoughts with Glen and family right now.

Yes, Sunryse111 Loving thoughts to Glen and his family

pray for glen x

A lovely man. Life can be cruel ....

Esta versión es la que mas me gusta muy buena

Gracias, Benjamin!

Like this version better than the original by the Everley Brothers

The Everly Brothers chewed throughout it. If you know what I mean.

Everley Brothers version is better.    I suppose it's subjective

i agree same here

Negative ghost rider

Theirs was good for that generation Glenn and Bobbie just updated it for a new generation.

Love this tune but cannot here Bobbie's vocals on this...such a shame but love Glenn anyway :-)

+pippymoomoo She seems happy to quietly harmonise, doesn't she!

I remember listening to this on the radio and Bobbie's voice was much more prominent.

Still, at 17, this song sends me to sleep.

+Jessie An excellent choice of lullaby!

nada mas soñar contigo, bella

+hipolito vargas sanchez Gracias, amigo.

Always loved this song

@annie482000 Thanks, Annie.  It's been called  "the perfect pop song".  One of my favourites, too.

Great Post !

Thank you for subbing my channel, John.  I was once parked up listening to my car radio, when this song came on.  An old woman who was passing by popped her head through my window and said "Great song!".  Written by  Felice and Boudleaux Bryant it has often been voted the best pop song ever.
