About the Song
Drifting on a Dream: A Journey with The Everly Brothers’ “All I Have To Do Is Dream”
Close your eyes, dear friends, and let’s rewind the clock to a time when bobby socks swirled and doo-wop melodies painted the airwaves. We’re heading back to 1958, where two brothers, their voices woven like spun gold, brought us a song that would become a timeless lullaby for hearts young and old. That song, of course, is The Everly Brothers’ “All I Have To Do Is Dream.”
Remember those simpler days, when a transistor radio was your portal to a world of harmony and romance? “All I Have To Do Is Dream” was the soundtrack to soda shop dreams and moonlit drives. It was the song you hummed under the covers, a secret melody that chased away shadows and whispered promises of forever.
Don and Phil Everly, those two Kentucky boys with voices as smooth as honey, poured their hearts into every note. Their close harmonies, a signature sound that would influence generations of musicians, were like a warm embrace, drawing you into the song’s dreamy world.
The lyrics, penned by the legendary Boudleaux Bryant, are simplicity itself. Yet, within their unassuming lines lies a profound truth about the power of love and imagination. “When I want you in my arms,” the song croons, “when I feel blue in the night,” all it takes is a whispered wish, a surrender to the realm of dreams, and the object of your affection is there, close enough to almost touch.
“All I Have To Do Is Dream” is more than just a love song; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In the face of separation, loneliness, or even heartache, the song reminds us that we hold the power to create our own solace, to find comfort in the tapestry of our dreams.
So, dear friends, let’s take a moment to revisit this cherished classic. Let the Everly Brothers’ voices wash over you, their harmonies weaving a spell that transports you back to a time of innocence and hope. Close your eyes, and let the melody carry you away on a cloud of dreams, where love is always just a wish away. Remember, even in the midst of life’s uncertainties, “All We Have To Do Is Dream.”

Lyrics
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream
