About Daydreamer

"Daydreamer" is a song by the American singer David Cassidy. Written by Terry Dempsey and produced by Rick Jarrard, "Daydreamer" was Cassidy's second and final No.1 single in the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks at the top of the chart in October and November 1973. The song was a double-A side with a cover version of Harry Nilsson's "The Puppy Song" on the B-side. The single was the 10th best selling single in the UK in 1973. The song also appears on David Cassidy's 1973 UK No. 1 album Dreams Are Nuthin' More Than Wishes. Cilla Black recorded a version of this song in 1974. The French singer Claude François also recorded a version of this song called "Le mal aimé" which was a hit in France. The song's only chart appearance in the US was by Gino Cunico in 1976 on Arista Records. This cover, which hit No. 43 on the Billboard Easy Listening Chart, added a bridge repeating the phrase "ain't that a shame", echoing the lyrical variation introduced by Cilla Black in her 1974 treatment of the song.

I remember April
When the sun was in the sky
And love was burning in your eyes
Nothing in the world could bother me
'cause I was living in a world of ecstasy.
But now you're gone I'm just a daydreamer
I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh how much I need someone to call my very own.
Now the summer's over
And I find myself alone
With only memories of you
I was so in love I couldn't see
'cause I was living in a world of make believe.
But now you're gone I'm just a daydreamer
I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh how much I need someone to call my very own.
I'm just a daydreamer
I'm walking in the rain
Chasing after rainbows I may never find again
Life is much too beautiful to live it all alone
Oh how much I need someone to call my very own
I'm just a . . .
