lyrics
[TUPTIM]
Alone and awake I've looked at the stars
The same that smile on you
And time and again
I've thought all the things
That you were thinking too
[LUN THA]
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed every word you whisper
When your close
Close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
[BOTH]
I will love being loved by you
Alone and awake I've looked at the stars
The same that smile on you
And time and again
I've thought all the things
That you were thinking too
[LUN THA]
I have dreamed that your arms are lovely
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be
I have dreamed every word you whisper
When your close
Close to me
How you look in the glow of evening
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view
In these dreams I've loved you so
That by now I think I know
What it's like to be loved by you
[BOTH]
I will love being loved by you
"I Have Dreamed" is a show tune from
the 1951 Rodgers and Hammersteinmusical, The King and I.
In the original Broadway production it was sung by Doretta Morrow and Larry Douglas. It has
since become a standard, with many artists recording the song. The tune has
been accused of similarities to Alfred Newman's track, "The Hill of
the Brilliant Green Jade", from the 1944 film The Keys of the Kingdom starring Gregory Peck,[1] though
only seven notes are the same.
In
the show, the characters of Lun Tha and Tuptim sing of how they have dreamt of
their true love blossoming, as they prepare to escape from the King's palace.
This is in contrast to the subdued mood of the song "We Kiss in a Shadow", when they fear that
the King would know about their love.
"I
Have Dreamed" was added to the score of The King and Iduring
its out-of-town tryout run. The song was recorded for the soundtrack of the
1956 film version of The King and I but
ultimately no footage was shot to feature "I Have Dreamed," with the
song being featured in the film only in the incidental music prior to the
"We Kiss in a Shadow" sequence. However "I Have Dreamed" is
featured on the movie soundtrack album.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"I Have Dreamed" from the 1951 Rodgers and
Hammerstein musical, The King and I, was recorded by Frank Sinatra with a large
orchestra on February 19, 1963 as part of his theme album,The Concert Sinatra,
featuring songs from Broadway shows. The album was arranged and conducted by
Nelson Riddle and was recorded at the Goldwyn Studios Scoring Stage (Stage 7)
in Hollywood. Originally released as an LP in 1963 on Reprise Records, it was
released on CD in 2012 on the Concord label. I do not own the right to the song,

by UMG. No copyright infringement is intended. The purpose of this upload is

I
Have Dreamed
Sinatra Song of the Century #49
Sinatra Song of the Century #49
by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II
The
early Fifties were a rough time for Sinatra, and for his voice. The man himself
was losing popularity on the pop charts, on the big screen, in the newspaper
gossip columns, and with the executives of his record company. But, more
disturbingly, the voice was worn and tired. He no longer had the beautiful pure
tone that gave his early solo records a uniquely tender, intimate feeling. And
it wasn't yet clear what else he could do. When he tried swingin' or anything
up-tempo, it came over as aggressive and angry. Sometimes that worked, as in
singles like "Bim-Bam Baby", which to a certain degree prefigure
rock'n'roll, attitudinally speaking. But more often they had a hard edge that
wore you down after a couple of listens. Sinatra was no longer the bow-tied
bobbysoxer pin-up but it wasn't clear what, if anything, he was going to be
instead.
He still had great taste in songs, though - notwithstanding his
sour and hostile relations with Columbia Records. So on February 2nd 1951 he
went into the studio to record two songs from The King And I. He
hadn't seen the show, because nobody had. The out-of-town tryout in New Haven
was still three-and-a-half weeks away, to be followed by a Boston run for most
of March, and finally the Broadway premiere at the St James on March 29th. So
some two months ahead of Gertrude Lawrence and Yul Brynner's opening night,
Sinatra was taking a crack at three brand new showtunes with no very clear idea
of what their dramatic context was. Usually when Frank took a liking to a
Broadway score, it was because of a character that appealed to the actor in him
- Billy Bigelow in Carousel, Sky Masterson
in Guys And Dolls. But
in The King And I there's nothing really for him to play: Even
with a shaved head he would be an unpersuasive King of Siam, and even in a
hooped skirt he would be an unconvincing English governess. Nevertheless,
Rodgers & Hammerstein's publisher thought it worth dropping half the
numbers in his lap and getting a couple of Sinatra records on the songs well in
advance of opening night.
