About Dreamin'

"Dreamin'" ("Dreaming" in U. S.) is a song recorded by Cliff Richard from his 1980 album, I'm No Hero. The track was the first of three single releases and was the biggest hit from the album. "Dreaming" became Richard's third and final U. S. Top 10 hit. It peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, reached the Top 5 in Australia and was a hit in numerous European countries. "Dreaming" achieved silver certification for sales in the UK. The song was co-written by Leo Sayer. Sayer's own hit, a cover of "More Than I Can Say" (U. S. #2) was on the charts concurrently with "Dreaming" during the last four months of 1980. Both songs were produced by Alan Tarney. The release of the follow-up single from Richard's I'm No Hero album, "A Little in Love" was delayed by the release of his duet with Olivia Newton-John "Suddenly," from the Xanadu soundtrack.

Four o'clock, I've been walkin' all night
It's the time I always think of you
If you could only see through my eyes
Then you'd know just what I'm going through

Here am I, I'm taking a chance
In running around with stars in my eyes
Here am I, I'm looking for you
Wondering why do I feel so blue

I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life

Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you'd better believe that I'm
(Dreamin' you into my life)

Five o'clock, still walking around
I call you up but you just bring me down
I guess you'd say I'm getting nowhere
But in my dreams you always come around

Here am I, I'm taking a chance
I'm walking on air, flying so high
Here am I, I'm facing the truth
There's no other way I'll ever make you mine

I'm dreamin', dreamin' of me and you, oh
I'm dreamin', dreamin' will see me through
Never letting chances pass me by
I'm gonna dream you right into my life

Yeah, dream you right into my life
(Dreamin', dreamin' will see me through)
Woman, you better believe that I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)

Woman, you've got to believe me, woman
Oh woman, you've got to believe me woman I'll be
(Dreamin' you into my life)

You've got to believe me, woman
Woman, oh woman, you've got to believe me, I'll be forever
(Dreamin' you into my life)
