Selena – Dreaming Of You

“Dreaming of You” – Single by Selena from the album Dreaming of You, released on August 14, 1995

Written by Fran Golde and Tom Snow, this song finds a girl wondering if the man she loves notices her, and she wants to tell him she loves him.

It was originally written in 1989 for American R&B group The Jets, who turned down the recording. Golde believed that the track had potential, and brought it to Selena, who recorded it for Dreaming of You.

This song was written a couple of months before Selena was shot and killed by the ex-president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldívar. It was released two weeks after she died and was inspired by her husband, Chris Perez, who was the lead guitarist for her band.

“Dreaming of You” and “I Could Fall in Love” were EMI Records’ top selling digital downloads from 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005. “Dreaming of You” became one of Selena’s most widely recognized recordings. The song won a BMI Pop Music Award for having two million airplay impressions in the United States. “Dreaming of You” was featured on Bruce Pollock’s book The 7500 Most Important Songs for the Rock and Roll Era in 2014. The Ellensburg Daily Record named “Dreaming of You” among their list of “The World’s Greatest First Dance Songs” for a wedding.

The music video for “Dreaming of You” was filmed posthumously and released in 1995 to music channels. The video is “about a young woman who sneaks away from her home to run off with the man she loves”, according to CBS News. The video opens up to a girl who overhears the radio announcer of Selena’s new single. She then kisses her sleeping father on the head before packing; her mother is seen in the kitchen cleaning and then leaves to the back looking up to the sky. At the end of the video, the girl and her love interest are seen embracing each other before driving away. The radio announcer concludes the video with “alright, I know that special someone that is close to your heart, that you’ve been dreaming about all night, is right next to you right now”. Charlie Huero of Power 106 was asked to be the radio announcer by EMI Records producer Sean Lynch. The music video reached number 49 on the Billboard Video Monitor VH1 Top Music Videos list on 18 April 1998.

Versuri:
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too

‘Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
‘Til tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Wonder if you ever see me, and I
Wonder if you know I’m there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what’s inside?
Would you even care?

I just want to hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So I wait for the day, and the courage to say
How much I love you
(yes I do)

‘Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
‘Til tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Corazon, I can’t stop dreaming of you
No puedo dejar de pensar en ti
I can’t stop dreaming
Como te nesesito
I can’t stop dreaming of you
Mi amor como teextrano

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I still can’t believe
That you came up to me and said I love you
I love you too

Dreaming all tonight
Till tomorrow and for all of my life
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Than here in my room dreaming with you endlessly
