Do You Dream Of Me -
Michael W. Smith

Once I had asked a girl, do you dream of me, in reference to this song by Michael W. Smith. Unfortunately the answer was not the one I wanted - actually I did not get an answer. When pressed for it, I got the reply that she did not understand my question. She went on to tell me about the wonderful weekend she had meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time. Ouch - how is that for subtle?

Generally I try to stay away from the lyrical subject of 'love', 'dreams' and 'destiny.' This song has just such a strong pull that I could not resist. This song speaks to the inner part of me - that part that does not like to admit it, but knows it is desperately needs the approval of a loved one. That part that is uncertain in a world where everyone must be certain of who he or she is and where he or she is going. And is that smile the start of a laugh? Are you sharing my laughter or laughing at me?

'Wings of hope take flight.' In the end that is all we can say regarding the emotions of others - we hope. And to the women - do you not want a man to admit that he has some insecurity as well? A man that is strong enough to admit that he is not perfect?

Listen to this song by Michael W Smith and tell me that it does not make you want to believe in a white knight upon his fiery steed. And to my lady (whoever you may be): Do you dream of me?

The Lyrics

Dreams within the still of night
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
There upon some distant shore
We want for nothing more than what will be
And you and I, here we are
I wonder as we've come this far...

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

Love has found a magic space
A deep and hidden place where time stands still
Now I hold you in my arms
You know you hold my heart and always will

And you and I, here we are
And it's a wonder that we've come this far.

And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you.
Do you dream of me?
