Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴I hope I'm in your dreams
The way you are in all of my mine
You've got a love so fine
I wish that I could make you mine
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
And you look so tired
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
I walk into the room and there you sit
There you sit, you so alone and quiet
I can't help but stare how I love you, and it just ain't fair
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
But that river will flow on
Even after we're all long gone
That river will flow on
Take me with you now before I'm one
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Line by Line Meaning
I hope I'm in your dreams
I wish I could be on your mind even when you sleep
The way you are in all of my mine
You are always present in my thoughts and dreams
You've got a love so fine
Your love is special and unique
I wish that I could make you mine
I wish I could be with you and have your love
Won't you sit down, you know I love you honey
Please come sit with me, my love for you is strong
And you look so tired
You seem exhausted and worn out
I know it's hard how we're thrown into this life
Life can be difficult and uncertain
Then one day we must die
Death is inevitable for all of us
But that river will flow on
Life will continue even after we are no longer alive
Even after we're all long gone
Even after we have all passed away
Take me with you now before I'm one
Please take me with you before I die
I walk into the room and there you sit
As I enter the space, I see you sitting there
There you sit, you so alone and quiet
You are sitting by yourself, looking sad and quiet
I can't help but stare how I love you, and it just ain't fair
I cannot resist looking at you and feeling so much love for you, but it seems unfair that we cannot be together
