"I've Dreamed of You" Barbara Steisand
Explanation:
"I've Dreamed Of You"

I've dreamed of you
Always feeling you ... were there
And all my life
I have searched for you
Everywhere

I caught your smile in the morning sun
I heard your whisper on the breeze at night
I prayed one day that your arms would hold me tight

And just when I thought love had passed me by ...
We met
That first look in your eye ... I can't forget
You melted me with your tender touch
I felt both fear and sorrow slip away

Now here we stand hand in hand
This blessed day

I promise you
As I give to you ... my heart
That nothing, nothing in this world shall keep us apart
Come happily ever after me
The woman ( man ) I love until the day we end

I've dreamed of you
My great .... love and my best friend

Now God must know, how I love you so
He's blessed us here today as man and wife

Come dream with me
As I 've dreamed of you
All my life

Come dream with me
As I have dreamed of you
All my life

Barbara Streisand

agree  Patricia Baldwin: Many song or poem questions will not necessarily call for translation but for lyrics or stanzas ..I´ve had to supply full poems at times...that´s the magic of Proz.com and the wealth of language...Thank you Kim for your great research..lovely song.
