Emmylou Harris - I Will Dream Lyrics
In my imagination
You are my dear companion
And I'm the one you cling to
And your voice still calls my name
Before your heart began to wander
Before the fairer and the younger
Before the cryin' game
All those girls with their long dark tresses
Waltzing out in their Sunday dresses
All their sweet soft warm caresses
Cannot hold you like I do
And though you say you do notlove me
And your dreams are never of me
I will dream my dream of you
In my dreams you are the swallow
And I'm the sound of the bells you follow
But in this world dreams don't come true
Still when you're lost out in the desert
When your fire's a dying ember
The last light you remember
Will be the light I shed for you
Mine is no ordinary star love
I see exactly where you are love
And no one else could shine that far love
To bring you safely through
And though you say you do not want me
And made no promises to haunt me
I will dream my dream of you
The sorrows flow down like a fountain
Over the miles beyond our countin'
More than the flowers of the mountain
Or the raindrops in the sea
But if Heaven's just a dreaming
Surely my love will be redeeming
And you will dream your dream of me

Emmylou Harris I Will Dream Comments
So very real. Makes me want to cry after so many years of trying to forget her. I’m happy now but still I am dreaming now of what might have been.
makes me think of my beautiful sweet Tiina
It saddens me to think that the ladies who wrote this seriously good song could have been disappointed that it has not been appreciated by more people. I think it is exceptional in all respects, not least the rhyming pattern which is AAACBBBC in the first and third verses and AAACBBC in the others. (Compare John Prine's song "Unwed Fathers" which is AAACBBBC throughout).
It has the plaintive quality of a soliloquy but is in fact a monologue because it is addressed to another person despite that person's not hearing it. It is a close parallel to Richard Thompson's song "The Dimming of the Day" in its expression of sadness and the hope that things can be the same in future as they were in the past. Such hope is often forlorn as, for example, in Leonard Cohen's song "The Ballad of the Absent Mare" [Sung by EH with the title "Ballad of a Runaway Horse"] but it is not always so. Things sometimes turn out ok. Cheer up by listening to EH singing Buck Owens' song "Together Again".
like. good song
LA SEULE VOIX AU MONDE QUI ME FAIT PERLER SUR MES JOUES DES LARMES TELLEMENT C 'EST PUISSANT
This song should have been the ending to Brokeback Mountain
Shouldn't have made a movie like that..
Thank you for posting this song. I am disappointed that there have been so few views. Perhaps if you treat yourself to a holiday in San Juan Capistrano the pictures will connect with the song.
Takes me back to a ghost from my past..
This song always brings back the memory of a lovely-beautiful lady called Jessica who I once knew - she was such a good friend to me & I will love her always & for ever - I hope that where ever she is she is happy ( Have LOVE, Good Health, Peace, Joy & Long Life - hope all your dreams come true U will always be my best friend & never forgotten.
George, I have the same feelings for a lovely- beautiful lady I once met too. The song I Will Dream is one, if not the best, interpreted by Emmylou.
Beautiful, elegant, evocative.....a song that cannot be heard without tears.
most beautiful song song ever brings tears to my eyes of my beloved husband
the most beautiful song ever thank you emmylou love paul[from boston]. seeyou in lowell
