Hayley Westenra - River Of Dreams Lyrics






River of dreams take me with you tonight
Lying in your arms we'll drift to
Islands of wonder that gleam and glow
Under the stars
As we glide through the dark
To the heart of the night

River of dreams gently hold me again
I remember all you told me
All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away
From the daylight and melted back into the night

Was I awake or did I dream
The kiss of waves
The silver slipstream
That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea

River of dreams softly flowing away
Let me follow where you are going
And make me a part of you
Deep in the heart of you
Let my reflection be clear
In the water of life
That tumbles as it turns again towards the night

That tumbles as it turns again towards the night.

  3. s.... b....

    my fav song ever, hayley looks and sounds adorable

  4. S.... S....

    Hi Hayley. You sing many songs with different languages. You did and are doing a lot of charity works as an Ambassador of UNICEF. I reccon that you are more than a Westerner, but are International.

  5. K.... K....

    Good kiwi girl, with a clarity of voice, which you do not get from sopranos in this age.

  6. D.... B....

    Angelic...She is one of the purest sounding sopranos.

  7. i.... m....

    I believe that were he alive, Antonio would love this adaptation of his work as much as I do. The Sirens should have been so fortunate as to possess voices half as lovely as Hayley's.

  8. E.... M....

    Que paz se respira oyendore gracias

  9. T.... D....

    This song makes me feel peaceful!! Amazing voice!! Hayley Westenra ❤️❤️❤️❤️

  10. D.... L....

    No doubt this was my favourite range of Hayley Westerna's technical pitch. Her chords at age 18 were her prime. She's still a lovely thing to see now though.

  11. S.... A....

    Amazing

  12. M.... B....

    Hayley you brought my life back

  13. A.... A....

    Heavenly voice.

  14. T.... D....

    She has the voice of an angel~ <3 <3

  15. �.... ....

    Very very sweet ... 🍯🐝🐝

  20. H.... ....

    The go-to Endless Ocean song

  21. J.... C....

    River of dreams take me with you tonight
    Lying in your arms we'll drift to
    Islands of wonder that gleam and glow
    Under the stars
    As we glide through the dark
    To the heart of the night

    River of dreams gently hold me again
    I remember all you told me
    All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away
    From the daylight and melted back into the night

    Was I awake or did I dream
    The kiss of waves
    The silver slipstream
    That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea

    River of dreams softly flowing away
    Let me follow where you are going
    And make me a part of you
    Deep in the heart of you
    Let my reflection be clear
    In the water of life
    That tumbles as it turns again towards the night

    The angels would like to sing like Hayley Westenra!

  25. a.... d....

    Tengo años escuchando lo melodiosa que es hayley y no me canso de escucharla,

  26. L.... A....

    공유하신 주소랑 음악 틀리게 나오네요..ㅠ.ㅠ

  27. s.... ....

    僕の音楽の最終地点にたどり着いた

  28. M.... X....

    42 DISLIKES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!

    M.... X....

    Only thing I can imagine is that they think it's too short.

  29. �.... ....

    Since 20 years ago, I have been feeling that the melody of the winter in the 4 seasons of Vivaldi is remarkably marvelous.
    Practically I prefer "the winter" to "the spring".
    This time, lovable lady Hayley has sung this winter's melody with the nice lyrics.
    Therefore, my affection for Lady Hayley as a singer would become deeper and deeper.
    If possible, after earning $ 5 million like the great Gatsby by Scott. I'd like to propose our wedding to lady Hayley. Of course, it's a 100% Japanese joke.
    I am an existence far from evil stalker.
    But I can imagine that there are plenty of males who have had such a bitter sweet fantasy like mine in this world. Anyway I expect and pray her brilliant and straight growth.
    From Tokyo

  30. C.... S....

    She reminds me of Chelsea Clinton but 10 times hotter lol.

  31. C.... ....

    My favourite Vivaldi piece!!!!

  32. S.... H....

    This is where music nowadays should go :(

  33. L.... H....

    Vivaldi would have created lyrics with Hayley if was alive

    L.... H....

    Vivaldi actually wrote the lyrics for the four seasons, in the form of sonnets...................................

    L.... H....

    Thanks Racc, we learn things every day

    L.... H....

    It's not known for sure that he wrote them.

  34. V.... H....

    it is voice of an angel.

  35. W.... W....

    Such a totally lovely voice, and a wonderful adaptation of the Vivaldi piece!

  36. A.... D....

    Thanks Hayley for bringing a freshness and vitality to songs that uplift and inspire us.

  37. B.... L....

    Her voice is clean and gentle. It would be great to hear singing Ave Maria.

    B.... L....

    She's sung four different versions of Ave Maria.

    B.... L....

    Yes: some people need to broaden their horizons and to remember that there's more than just the Schubert "Ave Maria."
    Unfortunately, some people hear that one first and assume for the rest of their lives that none other was composed--and they don't bother to search, either.
    It's their loss.

  38. A.... ....

    Oh my god, that's the real music.

  39. A.... T....

    Just a simply beautiful song.

  40. J.... W....

    The Endless Ocean video game brought me here.

    J.... W....

    Me too !

  41. B.... D....

    Beautiful voice smooth

  42. S.... ....

    Andrew Lloyd Webber's probably kicking himself that he didn't discover her.

    S.... ....

    He discovered her back in early 2000s. She was seriously considered for the role of Christine in The Phantom of the Opera movie but as it occurred just at the release of Pure, she opted to go on tour and pursue her international music career.

  43. E.... M....

    Laatukasta musiikkia. Hyvä laulaja Hayley Westenra.

  44. A.... Z....

    River of dreams take me with you tonight
    Lying in your arms we'll drift to
    Islands of wonder that gleam and glow
    Under the stars
    As we glide through the dark
    To the heart of the night

    River of dreams gently hold me again
    I remember all you told me
    All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away
    From the daylight and melted back into the night

    Was I awake or did I dream
    The kiss of waves
    The silver slipstream
    That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea

    River of dreams softly flowing away
    Let me follow where you are going
    And make me a part of you
    Deep in the heart of you
    Let my reflection be clear
    In the water of life
    That tumbles as it turns again towards the night

    That tumbles as it turns again towards the night.

    shut up with the lyrics, it's about how it's preformed and the music... the lyrics are only a small part

    Hayley, See whether you like the following song, which you can sing to encourage people without license concern
    Move Forward
    Music : Beethoven

    3232|37^2^1|6^- - - | .....^ means an octave lower

    Lyrics
    This is where we want to go
    Look at the aim
    We plan to go
    This is where we want to go
    Climb up the hill
    Jump through the trough

    We need to move
    To where we dream
    To where we like
    To where we long
    Bypass the cliff

    This is what we want to do
    Look at the goal
    We will achieve
    This is what we want to do
    Ignore the block
    Strive for the goal

    Surmount the stop
    We need to try
    We need to strive
    We need to thrive
    We will be there

    This is what we need to mind
    Giving we have
    Taking the help
    This is what we need to mind
    Building ourselves
    Building others

    We need to care
    For all our friends
    For all our foes
    For all people
    In harmony

    This is what we need to face
    People don't see
    Mis-un-der-stand
    This is what we need to face
    People feel bad
    Try stopping us

    Do not give up
    Just linger on
    Just do the right
    Just wait and see
    The victory

  45. Y.... L....

    We each are on a unique journey of life to become and/or to be. Her beautiful songs make our journey enriched. 

  46. R.... H....

    The girl is an little angel who make people to cry...So beautiful...

  47. N.... ....

    Can anyone upload Hayley singing  Bist Du Bei Mir ? It was my favorite and now it's been taken down.

    N.... ....

    It's OK, I knew what you meant. 
    I'd really love to see/hear that (Bist dubei mir) put up again. Can't imagine why it was taken down.

  48. e.... p....

    Angelic voice.

  49. R.... C....

    Good choice of song.  It goes with her uniquely sweet voice.  

  50. M.... ....

    Which is more gorgeous - Hayley or the song!

  51. p.... ....

    River of Dreams from Hayley's " PURE " Album 2003 which she recorded when she was 16.

  52. J.... B....

    Vivaldi put to beautiful lyrics....lovely

  53. K.... I....

    Yeah, this is one of the few successful adaptation of Bach's "Winter", very much befitting the singing style and the range of Hayley. 

    K.... I....

    NOOOOOOO! NOT BACH! VIVALDI! ANTONIO VIVALDI! You clearly know very little about music.

    K.... I....

    @TehWoodsieOne XD hahahhaa, it was not composed by Madonna?

  54. c.... ....

    Not Puritanism but rather good taste in knowing there is a time for everything.

  55. M.... P....

    Yes. She has a beautiful voice, which we approve, and a beautiful body, which she should hide. 'Cause puritanism!

  56. c.... ....

    I've been addicted to Ms. Westerna since seeing her tour with Celtic Woman. Incredible that a singer can actually 'make it' these days without dancing around in her underwear, having wardrobe malfunctions or being carried to award shows in an egg. Of course, it helps that Ms. Westerna has talent and dedication to sustain her career and not a PR firm.

  57. S.... R....

    If you love Hayley, don't forget her work in the Celtic Woman "A New Journey" concert. Be warned that you may get addicted to Celtic Woman, especially Mairead Nesbitt. Ever seen a gorgeous violin virtuoso *dance* with her instrument?

  58. s.... ....

    I could never get tired of her voice.

    s.... ....

    Especially her vocals within that period.

  59. R.... H....

    A beautiful voice. Calming to the soul. ❤ I always appreciate this kind of music

  60. M.... O....

    sometimes i think that people dislike awesome videos just to dislike them

  61. S.... P....

    River of dreams take me with you tonight
    Lying in your arms we'll drift to
    Islands of wonder that gleam and glow under the stars
    As we glide through the dark to the heart of the night
    River of dreams gently hold me again
    I remember all you told me
    All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away
    From the daylight and melted back into the night
    Was I awake or did I dream
    The kiss of waves, the silver slipstream
    That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea
    River of dreams softly flowing away

    Early on it seems Jackie really like to do Hayley songs. This is not a very common song. but here is Jackie's version.

    watch?v=4VNHIpUH6KQ

    just copy and paste link in youtube search bar click, then click again on,
    Jackie Evancho AGT 2010 River of Dreams. A duet with these two beautiful voices would be epic.

  63. A.... R....

    Maravillosa en su voz y en su belleza. Es un verdadero ángel !!!

  64. M.... ....

    Wow I am blown away, What a voice!! Bravo

  65. M.... ....

    And... it's gone.

  66. i.... ....

    I discovered the majority of Hayley's songs on Endless Ocean. I love this, Shenandoah and Amazing Grace the most. <3 So calming and beautiful while I dive :P

  67. L.... ....

    beautiful....

  68. A.... M....

    Hayley je prostě úžasná :)

  69. O.... G....

    Angel voice

  70. s.... ....

    hayley sounds angelic and the first violin sounds delicate ;)

  71. a.... h....

    a beautiful voice and a face to match.....MAGICAL. xx.

  72. z.... M....

    This woman is an angel...who could not love her at first sight

  73. D.... B....

    Good deeds to help poor unconditional

  74. A.... ....

    Vivaldi , the composer, taught music at a girls' school in Siena and I'm sure he would have been happy with this adaptation - much of his music has lent itself to use in films and other contexts. HW does a beautiful job of this.

  75. C.... D....

    in the middle of the night....

  76. N.... ....

    Love Hayley and this song!

  77. M.... ....

    Did you not notice the "adapted from winter" in the title?

  78. �.... �....

    Очень красивый, теплый, нежный, светлый голос... Прекрасное исполнение!!! Спасибо!!!

  79. o.... ....

    I like this song better.

  80. N.... ....

    Hate these commercials that we can't reject.

  81. R.... C....

    We are blessed!! Hearing a magical voice and seeing a face reflecting all that can be good in human nature-- beautiful and unspoiled in spite of her success... Hayley is an inspiration giving hope for all humans that we have a future.

  82. R.... K....

    what the hell is this? im not saying it sounds bad but it is definitely not billy joel. :(

    #crusheddreams

  83. R.... K....

    @pimasta314 now there are 12 dislikes. :(

  84. N.... ....

    Beautiful ! But get rid of the trash advertising!

  85. c.... ....

    I wish that scary looking Lady Gaga would not constantly torture me as I watch Hayley. It reminds me that crappy music out there exists and distracts me from Hayley's angelic voice.

  86. b.... p....

    isn't she beautiful?

  87. P.... C....

    @bosun1724 She's worked on a collaboration album with legendary composer, maestro Ennio Morricone, which is now released in many places, it's called Paradiso. It's no. 1 in all classical charts, and fairing well in the main charts as well :), It's a must buy album! She's changed so much, learned so much over the years!

  88. b.... ....

    Dose anyone know what Hayley is doing these days?

  89. M.... ....

    @holywells
    Sure...but Jackie Evancho and Hayley have WAY too different a voice. It would NOT go well together. Too much clash.

  90. h.... ....

    @TheAjs1944 You are very welcome, and I am looking forward to the day when this fantastic lady performs a duet with Miss Jackie Evancho. They both possess beautiful voices and amazing stage presence. Jackie's videos from the PBS Great Performances concert that was filmed in Florida at the Ringling museum will bring tears of amazement and joy to all music lovers.

  91. a.... s....

    @holywells , thank you for that ,works a treat can't believe i never thought of that and your right,much more pleasant to watch on full screen . once again ,big thanks

  92. A.... W....

    Wow. Hayley's voice is amazing!

  93. b.... ....

    sorry chloe agnew does it better. dont sound right in english

  94. K.... Z....

    Aren't River of Dreams and Vivaldi's Rain the exact same song, just in different languages? Anyways, great job, Hayley, as always!

  95. O.... ....

    Thank You! Fantastic!!!

  96. C.... B....

    @pimasta314 There are 6 dislikes now.. ;-; Her voice is so beautiful and I love how he sings along with an orchestra. It's chill inducing and I could listen to music like this all day!

  97. C.... ....

    @rcarey19 Because some people have never heard of Vivaldi before. LOL

  98. F.... ....

    lmao.. was wondering what you were talking about yevo and then looked at the screen. At what point should Lady Gaga be advertised nor mentioned on the same page as each other. Two completely different people. It's like saying, "Hold on, let me finish this bottle of scoth before going to church"... actually not a bad idea.
    Do you think Andrea Bocelli considered doing a song with Lady Gaga?

  99. m.... ....

    @pimasta314 So they are, but considering it is allergy season, 4 people sneezed when hitting like
