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
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
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 you can have and hold

I’d build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free

About Lyrics and Dreaming by Blondie

The lyrics to Dreaming are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Blondie in 1979. Elements of the lyrics to Dreaming are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Blondie and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Dreaming back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Dreaming by Blondie in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Dreaming" means the words set to the music of Dreaming, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Blondie. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Dreaming and the lyrics to Dreaming are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Blondie who came here looking just for the lyrics to Dreaming, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
