When I’m here in your arms, I feel love in my heart, I can breathe
Not even pinching myself, I don’t care, I’m with you, you with me
I never wished on the star when the star ain’t got nothing on me
‘Cause I can wish you in my dreams
When I close my eyes, I feel like I’m alive
‘Cause I can fall asleep, knowing that tonight you’ll be here with me
Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I don’t wanna know (I don’t wanna know)
‘Cause I ain’t ’bout to be without you, babe (Without you, babe) Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I ain’t letting go (I ain’t letting go)
‘Cause everything I love is about you, babe (About you, babe)
So I’d rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
If that’s the only way to be with you, then dreaming you is where I belong
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I think the luckiest girl in the whole wide world could be me
I get to be with the one that I love anytime I please
I feel like I can stay forever beyond eternity
It’s like I’m where I’m supposed to be
When I close my eyes, I feel like I’m alive
‘Cause I can fall asleep, knowing that tonight you’ll be here with me
Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I don’t wanna know (I don’t wanna know)
‘Cause I ain’t ’bout to be without you, babe (Without you, babe) Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I ain’t letting go (I ain’t letting go)
‘Cause everything I love is about you, babe (About you, babe)
So I’d rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
If that’s the only way to be with you, then dreaming you is where I belong
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It took a lifetime just to get with you, to be with you, baby
And now that I’m here with you, I’m gonna take it in, breathe you in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I am dreaming, let the dream be that I’m awake
‘Cause I’d rather dream about you than living life without me and you, you
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I don’t wanna know (I don’t wanna know)
‘Cause I ain’t ’bout to be without you, babe (Without you, babe) Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I ain’t letting go (I ain’t letting go)
‘Cause everything I love is about you, babe (About you, babe)
So I’d rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
If that’s the only way to be with you, then dreaming you is where I belong
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I don’t wanna know (I don’t wanna know)
‘Cause I ain’t ’bout to be without you, babe (Without you, babe) Oh
(Let me know) If this is a dream
(Oh, oh, oh)
Then I ain’t letting go (I ain’t letting go)
‘Cause everything I love is about you, babe (About you, babe)
So I’d rather be a dreamer than waking up with nobody home
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
If that’s the only way to be with you, then dreaming you is where I belong
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Finding Love in Dreams
“Dreaming” by Beyoncé is a heartfelt ode to the power of love and the sanctuary it provides. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone completely enamored, so much so that reality feels dreamlike whenever they’re with their partner. Beyoncé expresses a desire to remain in this blissful state, even if it’s just a dream, because the feeling of love is so profound and all-encompassing. The repeated yearning to keep dreaming rather than face a reality without her loved one underscores the depth of her devotion and the comfort she finds in their togetherness.
The Comfort of Escapism
Throughout the song, Beyoncé intertwines themes of gratitude and vulnerability. She acknowledges how rare and precious her connection is, describing herself as “the luckiest girl in the whole wide world.” The dream motif not only conveys a sense of euphoria but also acts as a shield against loneliness, suggesting that sometimes, dreams can be sweeter and more fulfilling than reality itself.
