Vanessa Williams: Dreamin’

Sun Sep 14th 2014 by abagond

Remarks:

My favourite Vanessa Williams song. It went to #1 on the American R&B charts in 1988.

Lyrics:

For the life of me
I never thought that it could be
The way it stands right now
Emotions running high
Every night I wish that I
Could tell you how I feel
Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I’ll be dreamin’
Dreamin’
Hoping baby you will be there
I’ll be dreamin’
Dreamin’
Hoping baby you will be there

Let me take time out
To try and find out
If this could be real
Cause reality scares me
I’ve been living a fantasy
How should I feel

Those words are here in my heart
Oh but there is just one missing part

How to put it together
How to say it right
And let you know that
Every night

I’ll be dreamin’
Dreamin’
Hoping baby you will be there
I’ll be dreamin’
Dreamin’
Hoping baby you will be there

Niiiice.

@Abagond

If you like this you might like Pebbles “Do me right” as well. The songs, accompanying music videos and the artists are similar, Pebbles was just a little more street.

@Mary B

Vanessa’s just always been a very likable person.

It’s not like her life was remotely easy. She had to battle so much being a pioneer of biracial Black America that became a celebrity and commercially marketed in the beginnings of big media frenzy. To those that judge people of color of the likes of Oprah and Bill Cosby, you gotta put yourself in their shoes before you make a rant.

^^^^ And what I mean by that are people of color judging the actions of famous people of color in a harsh manner.

I remember this song back in the day. I used to think about my crush when this song came on. The joys of high school. :^/ You couldn’t pay me to go back for all the money in the world!

I have no idea how to go about that. This blog could do with some regular jams.
