May, Imelda - Dreaming Lyrics






When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
A movie or a measure?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming

I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
We just walk on by
we just keep on dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

Feet feet, walking a two mile
Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile
I never met him, I'll never forget him

Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something we can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

May, Imelda Dreaming Comments
  1. D.... B....

    The purity of her voice is just so refreshing there is nothing she cannot sing and improve on what a unique talent we have here she should be cherished and enjoyed hopefully for decades to come.

  2. T.... ....

    If this girl can't get a hit, I just give up already!

  3. T.... ....

    Our man on a ukelele. *clapping*

  4. D.... B....

    So very versatile and the voice of an Angel

  5. 4.... ....

    Imelda this is beautiful

  6. T.... ....

    Beautiful but Clem Burke's drumming is missing

  7. s.... ....

    Watching her sing with her eyes closed, knowing all the words are in her head. Those lyrics and a host of others. My father was the same, he had a repertoire of, I don't know how many, songs in his head and could sing an appropriate song at the drop of a hat. Me, I can hardly get past the first line. The apple fell FAR from the tree.

  8. H.... G....

    pure talent, pure beauty,pure love!!

  9. L.... S....

    Love us some Imelda May <3

  10. m.... h....

    I love Imelda May's voice. I do not love the sound of a ukulele. I do love this song.

  11. j.... b....

    Aced it! Would a whole album of acoustic covers be asking too much?

  12. H.... ....

    Thumbs the fuck down! Cutesy, contemporary, ukulele, hipster, utter bullshit!!!

  13. P.... ....

    Great version

  14. G.... W....

    Fucking love this and her t shirt is top of the pops

  15. l.... t....

    John Wayne Gacy on strings

  16. k.... ....

    чудесно!

  17. J.... P....

    This is an unbelievable performance.
    I bet Debbie Harry would give Imelda a hug for this rendition.
    More feeling than the original. IMO.

  18. S.... ....

    This woman does not get the recognition shee deserves
    She is talented beyond belief

    Amelda you have a wonderful talent of making me smile

  19. M.... C....

    She just gets it right every time.

  20. P.... B....

    Stunning

  21. D.... o....

    Dido covering Bronski Beats Smalltown Boy brought me here, and I must say, I was a bit reserved about someone I've never heard of cover a classic Blondie song, but this was delightfully beautiful and I am now a fan of Imelda May.

  22. J.... B....

    Anyone else hear the ghost of buddy holly in the lyrics?

  23. T.... ....

    This, the 1st track on Eat To The Beat made me fall in love w Blondie in 79. Imelda May gives me all the same feels here. Goosebumps. Awe. This is the shit that makes life precious to me.

  24. J.... O....

    great guys !!!!

  25. S.... F....

    What a great rendition of a Blondie Classic

  26. p.... ....

    This is freaking great.

  27. D.... E....

    She sang this live in San Francisco last year, and time just stopped. She should definitely sing a wider variety of music!

  28. R.... C....

    Beautiful rendition. I know the original very well but that is the first time I have heard the song itself. Gwaaaaan ya good ting.

  29. b.... s....

    She's just a pleasure to listen to.....

  30. j.... ....

    She sure can sing ! Even without the sound,I like that and I like her too. Lucky Darrel Higham !

    j.... ....

  41. J.... K....

    Beautiful.

  42. Z.... ....

    A nice touch, finishing with a couple of bars of " I'll see you in my Dreams", which also makes a good Ukulele song.

  43. l.... ....

    I'm actually crying, this is so perfect!

    l.... ....

    +loodiamexican when you have the good fortune to see beauty, simply, it's hard not to tear up in gratitude.

  44. 1.... ....

    I know it's comparing oranges to apples
    so it's impossible to say
    but I believe Imelda May
    is the best female singer alive today

  62. G.... B....

    WHAT A VOICE ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC xXx

  63. j.... ....

    I LOVE the "I'll see you in my Dreams" she does at the end.

  64. j.... ....

    Those George Harrison '68 pants never looked so good!

  65. R.... P....

    Phenomenal!!!!!!!

  66. m.... ....

    Gosh this girl...........................❤ Priceless!

  67. M.... ....

    Great cover of Blondie's song.  Done better and simpler by Imelda May and Al Gaer. Sometimes less is best. And in this arrangement it plays out beautifully. Brilliant!

    M.... ....

    Mr54nomore I have to totally disagree and I think thousands would, how can you say it's is better than the original by Blondie. Debbie Harry wrote the song back in 1979. Which if you listen to Debbie Harry's vocals they superbly display the song for what it is a classic power pop song recorded and wrote by one of the biggest female Legendary rock stars ever. Who Amelda has stated she is a fan of Debbie's and Blondie the group and that's why she recorded it. Less is best, it's a nice cover but don't over egg the pudding it's a just a sweet tribute to greatness.

    M.... ....

    Michael Mckenna Amen!

  68. a.... S....

    Imelda is a great artist, fantastic!! I love her...

  69. M.... ....

    Oh this is bliss... Love you Imelda.... and HELLO and Kisses from Tipperary :)

    M.... ....

    Whew,it is a long way isn't it?

  70. G.... c....

    She makes it look so easy what a great talent.

  71. C.... H....

    Didn't think this could be pulled off without the drums....I was wrong...beautiful

  72. S.... w....

  73. L.... B....

    Quelle classe! Imelda est une chanteuse exceptionnelle!
