I’ll See You in My Dreams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The road is long and seeming without end
The days go on, I remember you my friend
And though you're gone and my heart's been emptied it seems
I'll see you in my dreams

[Verse 2]
I got the old guitar here by the bed
All your favorite records and all the books that you read
And though my soul feels like it's been split at the seams
I'll see you in my dreams

[Chorus]
I'll see you in my dreams when all our summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams, we'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams, yeah around the river bend
For death is not the еnd and I'll see you in my dreams

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'll see you in my dreams when all our summеrs have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams, we'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams, yeah around the river bend
For death is not the end and I'll see you in my dreams
[Post-Chorus]
See you in my dreams
See you in my dreams
Go!

[Outro]
And I'll see you in my dreams

What did Bruce Springsteen say about "I'll See You in My Dreams"?
Genius Answer

I remember a lot of my dreams and I always have. But that song was basically about those that pass away don’t ever really leave us. They visit me in my dreams several times a year. Clarence will come up a couple times in a year. Or I’ll see Danny. They just show up in very absurd, sometimes in abstract ways in the middle of strange stories. But they’re there, and it’s actually a lovely thing to revisit with them in that way. The pain slips away, the love remains, and they live in that love and walk alongside you and your ancestors and your life companions as a part of your spirit. So the song is basically about that: ‘Hey. I’m not going to see you at the next session, but I’ll see you in my dreams.’
